Belgium/Dendrochronology - Dating metallic reinforcements in roof frames
Résumé
Studies about metallic reinforcements in historical monuments multiply themselves. Thanks to building archaeology and dendrochronology, we are able to determine the archaeological contexts to which the metallic elements belong and to date them. One of the objectives of the research is to list the different appearances of iron in roof frames and to identify the function of each. At the end, the principal aim is to create a typo-chronological inventory which will index all the iron reinforcements met in medieval roof frames of the Meuse basin (Belgium).
