Dendrecological investigations on mine timber from "Rammelsberg" near Goslar and mine "Roter Baer" near St. Andreasberg. A contribution to mining archaeology in the Harz mountains for the exploration of a mining and environmental archive

自史前以来，木材是山区采矿的重要原材料。它被广泛使用：在地上和地下作为木材，用于矿石开采和冶炼过程。Woodden以前采矿的文物，保存在矿山和覆盖层库存中，是独特的档案。今天，它的树木年代学和树木学分析可以提供对山区采矿，森林管理和哈尔茨山脉环境变化历史的见解。该项目的重点是两个矿山，即戈斯拉尔附近的世界遗产Rammelsberg和圣安德烈亚斯贝格附近的Roter Baer矿山（上哈茨地区）。这些画廊将与亚化石建筑木材方面进行勘探。连同已经从一个被埋葬的中世纪画廊取回的木材，这些木材将被调查。针对不同的保存阶段和具体的发现情况（矿物结壳、分解程度），将开发适当的取样和保存技术，以便能够进行取样、处理和档案储存。该项目是为了估计潜力，并准备对早期哈尔茨矿业的历史进行跨学科研究。

Since pre-history wood was an important raw material in mountain mining. It was used multifariously: above ground and under ground as timber, for ore mining and for smelting processes.Woodden artefacts of former mining, conserved in mines and overburden stockpiles are unique archives. Today its dendrochronologically and dendrecologically analysis can provide insights in history of mountain mining, forest management, and environmental change of the Harz mountains. The project focusses on two mines, the world heritage site Rammelsberg near Goslar and the mine Roter Baer near St. Andreasberg (upper Harz region). There galleries will be prospected with regard to subfossil construction wood. Together with already retrieved wood from a burried medieval gallery this wood will be investigated. Regarding the different stage of preservation and the specific finding situation (mineral crusts, degree of decomposition) adapted sampling and conservation techniques will be developed to enable the sampling, treatment, and archival storage. The project is made to estimate the potential and in preparation for an interdisciplinary study about the history of early Harz mining industry.
