Abstract

Founded in AD 775, the monastery of St John in Müstair represents a major construction project of the Carolingian period. It was commissioned by the Bishop of Chur, possibly under orders from Emperor Charlemagne himself. The size of the monastery stands in contrast with the multitude of small early medieval proprietary churches in the Adige Valley. To understand the context and impact of such a building project on the immediate and wider landscape climate conditions, vegetation cover, natural resources, historic settlement patterns and traditional lines of communication have to be considered in a long-term perspective. Their potential influence on building traditions with respect to the choice of construction materials and methods will be evaluated. In terms of the spatial dimension, the monastic complex serves as a case study for the review of early medieval monumental stone architecture as a political instrument. Finally, the size, situation, and purpose of the monastic convent will be situated not only in its regional but also in its inner Alpine and wider European landscape context.

Abstract

Archaeological and historical research combined with material science help to understand the development of building material and construction technology of the Middle Ages. The natural sciences, especially mortar characterisation and scientific dating have allowed new insights into mechanical mortar mixing which has been introduced and used mainly in the early medieval period between AD 500 and 1000. This paper combines the results of the pan-European archaeological research project RESTOMO with that of the interdisciplinary SNF-project "Mortar technology and construction history" at the UNESCO-world heritage site of Müstair monastery. Müstair so far is the only site with six mortar mixers from two periods. The comparison of the mortar samples from the mixers with samples from the building remains has proven to be challenging and partly contradicts the previous correlation of mortar mixers with archaeologically established building phases.

Abstract

Absolute dating of mortars is crucial when trying to pin down construction phases of archaeological sites and historic stone buildings to a certain point in time or to confirm, but possibly also challenge, existing chronologies. To evaluate various sample preparation methods for radiocarbon (14C) dating of mortars as well as to compare different dating methods, i.e.14C and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), a mortar dating intercomparison study (MODIS) was set up, exploring existing limits and needs for further research. Four mortar samples were selected and distributed among the participating laboratories: one of which was expected not to present any problem related to the sample preparation methodologies for anthropogenic lime extraction, whereas all others addressed specific known sample preparation issues. Data obtained from the various mortar dating approaches are evaluated relative to the historical framework of the mortar samples and any deviation observed is contextualized to the composition and specific mineralogy of the sampled material.
