The archaeomagnetic dating is now applied to building materials of baked clay such as tiles, bricks and paving tiles. The presentation of the physical and statistical principles and the complete presentation of an experimental study concerning modern paving tiles show the great reliability and precision of the method. Thus, we can obtain, in France, dates with a precision of ± 20 years for the major part of the periods from the end of the protohistory till now. Application examples illustrate the multiple chronological contributions of the method. Finally, we show how archaeomagnetism allows to obtain archaeological and technological informations from study of the firing positions of the materials and the magnetic characteristics of the clays.
