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，木材一直是山地采矿的重要原料。它被广泛使用：地上和地下的木材，矿石开采和冶炼过程。以前采矿的木制文物，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为哈茨山脉的山地采矿、森林管理和环境变化的历史提供见解。该项目侧重于两个矿山，一个是Goslar附近的世界遗产Rammelsberg，另一个是St. Andreasberg附近的Roter Baer矿山（上哈尔茨地区）。将对这些画廊进行亚化石建筑木材的勘探。与已经从一个匆忙的中世纪画廊中检索到的木材一起，这种木材将被调查。根据不同的保存阶段和具体的发现情况（矿物结壳、分解程度），将开发适合的采样和保存技术，以实现采样、处理和档案储存。该项目是为了估计潜力，并为一项关于早期哈茨矿业历史的跨学科研究做准备。

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.
