[fr] Il est peu commun de mettre au jour de l’armement dans un contexte archéologique minier. La découverte faite à Castel-Minier est d’autant plus importante qu’elle est intervenue dans un contexte archéologique maitrisé. Elle met en lumière une dague à oreilles de la fin du XVe siècle qui diffère largement de celles connues dans les collections par sa sobriété. C’est la première fois que cet équipement offensif est découvert en contexte archéologique. Au-delà de la raison d’être de ce poignard dans une mine d’argent au XVe siècle, son étude permet de mettre en lumière pour la première fois une dague à oreilles de facture catalane destinée à un marché bien différent de celui des exemplaires connus dans la bibliographie.

In the early days of iron metallurgy in Western Europe, the most widespread type of ‘trade iron’ (semi-product) was bipyramidal in shape. Although they are frequently found, little is known about how they were manufactured and circulated, or even about their age. An interdisciplinary approach was applied to the Durrenentzen deposit (Haut-Rhin, France), the third-largest in Europe in terms of artefact quantities, in an attempt to reconstruct the technological, social and economic context that caused them to be abandoned. A morphometric study of the 51 iron bars revealed a high degree of homogeneity, despite variations in detail. Four objects were selected for archaeometric studies. Metallographic analyses show internal differences (quality of the material, nature of the alloys and manufacturing techniques). Chemical analyses also showed different provenances. Finally, radiocarbon analyses of the carbon in steel (iron/carbon alloy) linked this deposit to the early Iron Age. This study provided the first benchmark for more general research, significantly changing perceptions of the economics of iron at the beginning of the Iron Age.

This paper develops new reflections regarding the provenance of iron artefacts, by defining the trade networks that might have supplied the building yard of the Metz city belfry at the end of the 15th century. Regional field surveys were carried out in Lorraine in order to constitute a chemical repository, including ironmaking zones considered as the most probable metal providers. The chemical characterization—both major and trace elements—of slag inclusions entrapped in the metallic matrix of iron reinforcements was performed in order to compare their chemical signature to the reference set. A statistical approach based on the combined use of descriptive multivariate analyses was developed to infer the origin of the metal supplied to the building yard. As the multiplicity of potential metal providers was assessed from former studies, the results obtained underline the place taken by local workshops in the supply strategy developed by the builders. This study thus provides crucial information supporting a discussion about the scale and the organization of such networks at the end of the Middle Ages

Durant les premiers temps de la metallurgie du fer en Europe occidentale, le type de demi-produit le plus repandu est de forme bipyramidee. Bien que plus d'un millier de pieces soit connu, leurs conditions de fabrication et de circulation et meme leur datation restent mal apprehendees Une approche interdisciplinaire a ainsi ete appliquee au depot de demi-produits bipyramides de Durrenentzen (Haut-Rhin), le troisieme en Europe par son importance numerique, afin de reconstituer le contexte technologique, social et economique qui a conduit a son abandon. L’etude morphometrique des cinquante-et-un bipyramides revele une grande homogeneite globale du lot malgre des variations de detail. Quatre objets ont ete selectionnes pour etudes archeometriques. Les analyses metallographiques mettent en evidence des differences internes significatives en ce qui concerne la qualite des materiaux, la nature de l’alliage et les techniques de fabrication. Les analyses chimiques revelent egalement des signatures differenciees. Enfin, des analyses radiocarbones realisees sur le carbone contenu dans les aciers permettent de rattacher ce lot au premier âge du Fer. Les resultats de l’etude de ce depot exceptionnel permettent ainsi d’implanter le premier jalon d’une analyse plus generale modifiant significativement la perception de l’economie du fer au premier âge de Fer.

A rescue excavation has unearthed the remains of a bridge crossing the Moselle River at Dieulouard (Meurthe-et-Moselle, France). This constitutes one of the rare examples of non-religious monumental architecture from the Carolingian period in France. The present archaeometrical study, conducted on a set of architectural iron fastenings, provides an opportunity to examine the modalities through which early medieval building yards acquired ferrous materials. Located within the vicinity of active ironmaking zones, a hypothesis was subsequently put forward that the iron supply was provided by a local market. The results nevertheless highlight a more complex acquisition strategy than expected, relying at least partially on metal salvaging. This study therefore stimulates current discussions of the importance of recycling in the Carolingian economy, and of the value attributed to material and its transformation.
