“…However, the type of kilns presents similarities to two other kilns excavated at Chieri (kilns B and C of the block of via della Gualderia-via Massa-via dei Giardini), whose activity is attested between the end of the 15th and the first half of the 16th century CE (Pantò and Vaschetti, 2010). A total of 22 in situ-oriented brick samples from the praefurnium of kiln 7a were collected and studied for combined archeomagnetic and thermoluminescence dating (Tema et al, 2019). The dating results obtained from these two different techniques are in excellent agreement, confirming that the last use of the kiln occurred around the 16th century CE.…”

“…1), previously studied for archeodirection determination, were used here for archeointensity experiments. The dating of the bricks as determined through the thermoluminescence analysis is retained in this study, that is 1490-1574 CE (see details in Tema et al, 2019).…”

“…5A). For the Santhià kiln, an archeomagnetic direction obtained in a previous publication was already available so the new data offer a full geomagnetic field vector record for the beginning of the 15th century CE in Italy (Tema et al, 2019).…”

Absolute past geomagnetic intensity values can mainly be recovered by fired archaeological materials and volcanic rocks. Here, we present 10 new archeointensities from the Mediterranean region that help to better constrain geomagnetic field intensity changes in Europe over the last two millennia. The new archeointensity results were obtained from the Thellier classical method including thermoremanent magnetization (pTRM) checks and both the TRM anisotropy and cooling rate corrections and were derived from at least three specimens. The new data presented, together with a selection of previous archeointensities satisfying a set of quality criteria, confirm the presence of several intensity maxima in Europe over the last 2000 years. In particular, the new archeointensities allow to better define the starting point of the double-oscillation feature that occurred in Europe during the second half of the first millennium CE, and reinforce the existence of a relative maximum at the end of the 14th century -beginning of the 15th century in Western Europe. From selected European archeointensities two new paleosecular variation curves are constructed for Western and Eastern Europe using temporal cubic b-splines in a bootstrap approach. The obtained curves suggest that the occurrence of the intensity maxima is characterized by a period of about 300 ± 50 years. In addition, our results suggest that the maxima do not occur simultaneously in Western and Eastern Europe, pointing out an intensity eastward drift with a mean lag-time of about 100 years.

“…This dating technique was successfully applied in different regions over the globe, such as northwestern America (Hagstrum & Blinman 2010) and Europe (e.g. Arrighi et al, 2006;Schnepp and Brüggler, 2016;Tema et al, 2019), accordingly it can be used as an alternative to other traditional methods (e.g. radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating).…”

“…Another reason for the recent spurt of development in archeomagnetism is its ability to provide original dating constraints for archeologically poorly-dated structures (e.g. Le Pavón-Carrasco et al, 2011;Rouzeau et al, 2015;Tema et al, 2019;Schnepp et al, 2020) , as well as for a better understanding of the history of volcanoes (e.g. Tanguy et al, 2007;2011).…”

Nearly 40 years ago, Emile Thellier published an article summarizing the archeomagnetic data he had obtained during his career, which had allowed him to recover the main features of the directional variations of the geomagnetic field in France for the last two millennia. This database went on to be significantly completed 25 years ago by Ileana Bucur, who had taken over Thellier's work on archeomagnetism; this forms the current basis of our knowledge of the directional evolution of the geomagnetic field in France. Since then, archeomagnetic studies have been continued at Thellier's historical laboratory in Saint Maur. This article presents the directional archeomagnetic data obtained in France over the past 25 years in this same laboratory. A total of 528 new data are presented, which, together with the 170 results obtained on the French territory previously listed in Bucur (1994), constitute the French directional database (698 data in all). All but two of these data were obtained using the experimental protocol developed by E. Thellier based on the analysis of large samples and on a magnetic viscosity test that has proved its reliability on numerous occasions. The directions from the entire French database have been precisely defined, with 95% of the α 95 values being less than 1.9°, and ~50% being less than 0.8°. The selection of 286 data with dating
