Des clous d'un rempart gaulois du 1er siècle avant notre ère ont été observés au microscope. La microstructure du métal d'une part, et un calcul de la quantité de clous nécessaires à la construction du rempart d'autre part, conduisent à penser que la fabrication de clous était une production de masse.
Abstract
Nails of a Gallic defensive wall from the 1st century BC have been observed under the microscope. The microstructure of the metal, and a calculation of the amount of nails necessary to build the wall, lead to the proposal that nail preparation was a mass production.
