  • Origines et étapes de la diversité des techniques sidérurgiques en Afrique de l’Ouest

    Open AccessCaroline Robion‐brunner, Marie‐pierre Coustures et al.ARTICLEAfriques2022Cited by: 1References: 12

    La production de fer a joué un rôle clé dans l’histoire de l’Afrique depuis plus de 3 000 ans. L’étude de cette activité humaine a démontré son importance exceptionnelle, sa profondeur historique et une étonnante variabilité des pratiques. En effet, les métallurgistes ont développé différentes manières de produire du fer en Afrique subsaharienne. Ils ont multiplié les choix techniques à un degré inégalé sur les autres continents.La région de Bass…

  • Investigating the provenance of iron bars from Les Saintes‐Maries‐de‐la‐Mer Roman shipwrecks (south‐east France) with iron isotopes

    Open AccessJean Milot, Marie‐pierre Coustures et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2022References: 76

    Fe isotopes were used to determine the origin of iron bars from Les Saintes‐Maries‐de‐la‐Mer Roman shipwrecks, which was a major archaeological finding at the end of the 20th century in France. Their Fe isotope composition was measured by multi collector‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (MC‐ICP‐MS) after chemical Fe purification. The results allowed us to suggest provenances that were compared with those based on trace element analyse…

  • Iron isotopes as a potential tool for ancient iron metals tracing

  • Apports et limites des méthodes isotopiques pour restituer la circulation des métaux aux périodes anciennes

    Open AccessSandrine Baron, Marie-Pierre Coustures et al.ARTICLELes Nouvelles de l archéologie2015

    La compréhension des modalités d’échange des matières premières minérales et des métaux produits permet d’écrire l’histoire économique et technique des civilisations anciennes. Pour résoudre ces problématiques, les archéologues et les historiens ont besoin des apports de l’archéométrie. Dans le cas des métaux ferreux et non ferreux, les développements ou l’adaptabilité de méthodes analytiques nécessaires à la résolution de ces questionnements, pr…

  • Iron Production in Northern Benin

    Caroline Robion‐brunner, Anne Haour et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Archaeology2015

    In the context of the “Crossroads of Empires” project led by Anne Haour, one strand of enquiry aims to understand the history of blacksmith groups and the development of iron production in Dendi country, in the northern Republic of Benin. Numerous remains of iron production have been discovered, showing a great variability in furnace design and waste assemblages. At least three smelting traditions can be distinguished. In this paper, we present t…

  • Archéométrie qui trouve, archéométrie qui prouve

    Open AccessMarie-Pierre Coustures, Marie‐pierre CousturesARTICLEPallas2013References: 18

    In the seventies was beginning the first important archaeological researches on the ancient iron metallurgy of La Montagne Noire. A few years after, archaeometry joined the research team and never left it. Now it is time to take stock of several decades of works, it seems necessary to initiate a reflection on archaeometry as disciplinary field, through its failures and successes, and to show how it contributed, in the end, to change the historica…

  • Lingots de plomb et barres de fer des épaves romaines des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône, France)

    Sandrine Baron, Marie-Pierre Coustures et al.ARTICLERevue archéologique de Narbonnaise2011

    Ferrous and non-ferrous metal provenance studies are always handled in disconnected ways. In spite of two clearly different metallurgies, there are nevertheless some methodological and analytical similarities. It is precisely through the study of two types of metallic materials, lead and iron produced and commercialized during Antiquity, that certain aspects of the tracing will be discussed and compared between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Thr…

  • The Use of Trace Element Analysis of Entrapped Slag Inclusions to Establish Ore – Bar Iron Links

    Open AccessMarie‐pierre Coustures, M P Coustures et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2003Cited by: 15References: 8

    Knowledge of the iron trade in ancient times rests on determining the source of the objects recovered during archaeological excavations. Unfortunately, attributing the origin is not always possible using archaeological tools alone. Trace element data of the ore and the archaeological material (reduction and reheating slags, entrapped slag inclusions from the bloom, bar iron and iron blades) from two Gallo‐Roman iron‐making centres, Les Martys (Mo…
