Présentation de premiers résultats de fouilles et de recherches archéologiques menées à Trient, sur un site d'extraction de minerai de fer, dont l'exploitation remonte au 7e siècle de notre ère.
A Trient (VS), l'Université de Zurich étudie, avec l'autorization de l'Office cantonal d'archéologie et en collaboration avec l'Association Wallis Triensis, ce qui pourrait être la plus ancienne exploitation minière du fer en Valais. At an altitude of around 2000 m, iron mines were already extracted at the beginning of the Middle Ages, founded and transported into the valley.
Using the latest methods of investigation, archaeologists, archaeométallurgists and geophysicists are prospecting, excavating and attempting to reconstruct the history of this site, a small miniature region unique in its genre.
Rouven Turck's presentation will focus on the research strategy and the initial results of the investigations and analyses.
After studying archaeology and history in Marburg and Heidelberg, Rouven Turck was a scientific collaborator for 2 years in the DFG project on the Neolithic site of Herxheim i. d. Pfalz, where he completed his doctoral thesis on the question of mobility based on isotopic studies. Since 2012, he has been a scientific collaborator at the Department of Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Zurich and has led a project on miniature exploitation in the Grisons from 2013 to 2020.
In Valais, he participated in 2019 in projects on the Fiescheralp and in the Binntal valley, and since 2020 he has been leading research on the miniature mining of the Trento railway, which interests us today.
Valais en recherches is a cycle of conferences proposed by the Archives de l'Etat du Valais, the Office cantonal d'archéologie, the Médiathèque Valais - Sion and the Musées cantonaux du Valais
