Découvert lors de la construction de l'autoroute A5, le site paléométallurgique des Clérimois (Yonne) a livré les vestiges d'une dizaine d'ateliers qui ont produit du fer du IVe s. av. J.-C. au Ve s. de n.è. Les résultats publiés sont multiples : description et typologie des structures (18 bas fourneaux étudiés), anthracologie, analyses du minerai et des scories. L'étude des ferriers a permis une estimation de la production : 5 000 t de fer pour 15 500 t de minerai réduit, les quatre cinquièmes du fer étant produits entre La Tène finale et le IIe s. ap. J.-C par de grands fourneaux munis d'un système d'évacuation des scories. Ces données constituent d'ores et déjà une référence pour la recherche sur la métallurgie antique. Discovered during the construction of the A5 motorway, the early metalworking site of the Clérimois (Yonne) delivered the remains of some ten workshops which produced iron between the 4th century B.C. and the 5th century A. D. The published results are many: descriptions and typologies of the structures (18 furnaces studied), anthracology and analyses of the ores and slags. The study of the forges has allowed an estimation of the overall production: 5 000 tonnes of iron from 15 500 tonnes of smelted ore. Four fifths of this iron was produced between the end of the La Tène period and the 2nd century A.D. by large furnaces equipped with systems for removing the slag. These data can already be considered as a reference in the study of ancient metallurgy.
