This paper develops new reflections regarding the provenance of iron artefacts, by defining trade networks that might have supplied building yard Metz city belfry at end 15th century. Regional field surveys were carried out in Lorraine order to constitute a chemical repository, including ironmaking zones considered as most probable metal providers. The characterization—both major and trace elements—of slag inclusions entrapped metallic matrix reinforcements was performed compare their...
The study of iron reinforcements used in the construction Notre-Dame de Paris offers a glimpse into innovation that took place on this building site mid-12 th century, adapting metal to create novel architecture. restoration monument after 2019 fire offered unique possibilities investigate its armatures and sample 12 staples from different locations (tribunes, nave aisles upper walls). Six them were dated thanks development an innovative methodology based radiocarbon dating. They reveal is...
This paper presents the provenance study of iron reinforcements Bourges Cathedral (13th c.): links a 100 m long chain, surrounding eastern parts cathedral at triforium level and 4.5 to 5 tie-rods consolidating arches inner aisle same level. The analytical methodology is based on determination trace rare earth elements analyses by LA-ICP-MS in slag inclusions artefacts found candidate production sites combined with statistical approaches. chemical approach crossed archaeological historical...
This article presents an overview of the metallographic structures observed on iron reinforcements more than 20 buildings from medieval and modern period in France, which are representative evolution ironmaking techniques at that time (330 samples). Metallographic examinations show a great diversity structures, even same sample: pure ferritic to low pearlitic steel, presence phosphorus solid solution (locally up 0.5%wt), numerous slag inclusions various sizes, porosities.Tensile tests were...
The Cathedral Saint-Etienne in Bourges is the first major Gothic building to have been examined with regard use of iron its construction. study, made 1990s, posed questions about role and origin armatures identified structure edifice. Increased research this area intervening years development archaeometric methods applied metals allowed us cast new light on these questions. present article publishes results an archaeological study construction undertaken 2010-2011, conjunction chemical...
Thanks to the use of filters collected daily in west Paris, we confirm passage lead-laden plume following fire on roof and spire Notre-Dame Cathedral April 2019. The measured concentrations filter (Pb = 1.4 μg m–3), scanning electron microscopy Hysplit simulation, correspond an estimate a few hundred kilograms lead that would have been volatilized then oxidized form micronic submicronic aerosols. found are, however, much lower than those environment 1980s 1990s but are 100 times higher prior...
