Iron in medieval monuments metallographic analysis of irons coming from the Palais des Papes In Avignon.

Abstract

In the Palais des Papes of Avignon, several iron clamps and rods, precisely dated were analysed. The results give the first archaeological proof of the use of a hydraulic hammer for metal forging. Moreover, two qualities of metal were evidenced at different places of the building. It seems that steel was chosen for particular use linked to the of the Grande Chapelle. Finally, a slag inclusion study gives indications on the smelting processes and on the some ore types (containing P or Mn) that were used.
