International audienceFrom 1997 fire-setting experiments have been undertaken each winter in the Fournel silver mines at L'Argentière-la-Bessée (Hautes-Alpes, France). The objective is to work through this "process" to rediscover technical know-how, evaluate the combined role of the fire's intrinsic (fuel) and exterior (ventilation, pyre architecture) factors, and potential results. Beyond the strict environmental aspects, this process highlights methods of fuel management, fire practice and know-how, from the forest to the mine. The pyres are set against a hard native quartzite wall, in order to pierce a gallery 1,20 m high and 1 m wide, following the observed medieval network. As the archaeological-anthracological analyses suggest, the av...
