| Résumé : | The excavations at Preuilly of and around an isolated, well-preserved industrial building, the Grange des Beauvais, brought to light in two vaulted rooms a large forge, of which remaining traces include several ovens, log pits, evidence of water pipes and traces left by the installation of a horizontal mill wheel fed by water from a pool retained by a solidly-built causeway. A well-dated pit filled with terracotta architectural elements revealed the evolution of these roofing materials and indicated modifications made to the roof of the forge in the 14th century. Radiocarbon and dendrochronological dating lead to the conclusion that metallurgical activity began in Preuilly as soon as the abbey was built in the 12th century and stopped at the very end of the 15th century or first years of the 16th. |
