INSTITUT DE RECHERCHE SUR LES ARCHEOMATERIAUX (IRAMAT)

PESSAC CEDEX

IRAMAT is a multi-site unit (Belfort, Bordeaux and Orléans) which has the originality of being the grouping of three multidisciplinary and perfectly complementary teams, covering the theme of archaeomaterials. They deal with different themes in the fields of History, History of Art, History of Science and Technology and Economics.

The "Métal" working group is one of the 8 groups set up for the chantier scientifique Notre-Dame de Paris.

At the Cité internationale de la tapisserie d'Aubusson, scientists are studying works composed of silk and wool yarns, coloured by natural substances several hundred years ago.
