Technological Trajectories in Iron Smelting
The Ongoing Sungai Jaong Archaeological Project (2018‐2024), Sarawak, Malaysia
More than fifty years after the last excavations undertaken in the coastal area of the Sarawak River Delta, new archaeological excavations in the region started in 2019, through a cooperation between the École française dʼExtrême-Orient and the Sarawak Museum Department. This article offers the preliminary results of researches conducted at the Sungai Jaong site, in the Santubong area, until late 2023. Despite a very limited excavated surface are…

Archaeological Investigations at Sungai Jaong (2018, 2019, 2022), Sarawak, Malaysia
Introduction The ancient history of the northern coast of the Borneo Island remains largely unknown, especially for the period spanning the middle of the first to the middle of the second millennium CE. Two core areas have particularly attracted the attention of historians, archaeologists and epigraphists since the 1950s. The first core area is the present Sultanate of Brunei, about which research has focused in particular on the analysis of Chin…
Dating of a ring on one of the largest known Roman iron anchors (La Grande-Motte, France)
Le fer comme moyen de datation des bronzes khmers
Les avancées méthodologiques liées à la datation directe du fer par le carbone 14 ont récemment ouvert la voie à des découvertes significatives, que ce soit sur l’emploi du fer dans le bâti, ou encore sur l’organisation des réseaux de distribution des produits ferreux de la Protohistoire au Moyen Âge. L’approche de datation développée jusqu’à présent repose sur la nécessité de procéder en deux étapes : une pièce de métal est échantillonnée dans l…
A new understanding of the chronology, circulation and function of Iron Age (8th–1st c. BC) ferrous semi-products in north-eastern France

Guard the Good Deposit’
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 t…
The ties that bind
Analyse technologique, étude de provenance et datation par le radiocarbone du dépôt de demi-produits ferreux de Durrenentzen (Haut-Rhin, France)
Durant les premiers temps de la métallurgie du fer en Europe occidentale, le type de demi-produit le plus répandu est de forme bipyramidée. Bien que plus d'un millier de pièces soit connu, leurs conditions de fabrication et de circulation et même leur datation restent mal appréhendées Une approche interdisciplinaire a ainsi été appliquée au dépôt de demi-produits bipyramidés de Durrenentzen (Haut-Rhin), le troisième en Europe par son importance n…
Circulation of iron products in the North-Alpine area during the end of the first Iron Age (6th-5th c. BC)
Smelting in the Shadow of the Iron Mountain
The high-grade mineral ores of the Phnom Dek region in central Cambodia have long been suspected of playing a major role in the rise of Angkor, the largest medieval polity in mainland Southeast Asia. This article presents the first comprehensive study by the Industries of Angkor Project (INDAP) to document the extent of industrial activity in this region and test this important relationship. Using a combination of intensive field survey, surface …
The bridge of Dieulouard (Meurthe-et-Moselle, France)
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 …
Dernières avancées des études sur la production, la circulation et la datation des métaux ferreux archéologiques
Cet article présente les dernières avancées archéométriques en matière d’archéométallurgie du fer. Celles-ci se placent dans la lignée des approches menées depuis de longues années de manière interdisciplinaire tant sur les sites de production du métal que sur les objets eux mêmes. Ces avancées, basées sur le couplage d’analyses chimiques de pointe, notamment avec des inférences statistiques adaptées, permettent aujourd’hui de déterminer les proc…
The Iron Kuay of Cambodia
The Industries of Angkor Project (INDAP) is the first scientific study combining investigation of the chronology, supply network and technology of raw and finished iron within Angkorian (9th to 15th c. AD), Middle Period (15th to 19th c. AD) and Colonial (1863–1953) Cambodia. This paper is concerned with the production technology employed at five iron smelting sites in the northern province of Preah Vihear, three loci within the enclosure walls o…
