Abstract

The harbor town of Jaffa (Tel Yafo) was vital for the medieval Crusader States, functioning as a place where reinforcements, pilgrims, and communications entered the Latin East. An assemblage of five ship nails from Jaffa that were removed for reuse in the 13th century AD are examined and shown to be informative for understanding Crusader iron production, economic sustainability in the Crusader States, and the connections between northern European and Mediterranean ship construction traditions. Archaeometallurgical analyses of these ship nails demonstrate the first metallographically documented examples of Crusader steel recovered from archaeological contexts, as well as rare evidence of uncorroded Crusader alloys (nonnumismatic). The analysis also provides likely evidence for the use of iron hardware from the northern European tradition in the Crusader-period Levant.
公元13世纪雅法十字军航海用钢钉的考古冶金学分析
港口城市雅法(Tel Yafo)对中世纪的十字军国家至关重要,是援军、朝圣者和通讯进入拉丁东方的地方。一组来自雅法(Jaffa)的五枚船钉,在公元13世纪被移走重新使用。研究人员对这些钉子进行了研究,并证明了它们对了解十字军铁的生产、十字军国家的经济可持续性以及北欧和地中海船舶建造传统之间的联系提供了信息。对这些船钉的考古金相分析证明了从考古背景中发现的第一批十字军钢铁的金相记录,以及罕见的未腐蚀的十字军合金(非钱币)的证据。该分析还为十字军时期黎凡特使用北欧传统的铁器提供了可能的证据。
