Née au début xixe siècle et renouvelée dans les années 1980, l’archéo­logie du bâti entre à nouveau dans un de ces mouvements browniens qui bouleversent une science, la faisant devenir elle-même. Le mètre, le relevé manuel et l’échafaudage ont été l’essentiel de la pratique, et ils en restent le cœur : le contact physique avec l’édifice est irremplaçable. Mais aujourd’hui, la collaboration des sciences exactes et des technologies de pointe l’ont profondément transformée : l’archéométrie qui i...

The history of the royal burial places of the Kingdom of León culminates in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. It is possible to consider that in this cathedral, before occupying the chapel of Santa Catalina, the royal tombs had been kept elsewhere, perhaps in a place with specific burial purpose. The morphology of the burial places of the kings of León was not homogeneous throughout three centuries. My aim is to discuss whether or not the notion of continuity was observed in the royal cemeteries as a whole, or if this continuity is the result of the views of chroniclers and historiansEn la catedral de Santiago de Compostela culmina la historia de los panteones del reino de León. Es plausible considerar que antes de ocupar la capilla de Santa Catalina, las tumbas regias se reservaron en otro lugar, quizá alguno con vocación cementerial. La morfología de los panteones leoneses no fue homogénea a lo largo de tres siglos. Planteo si el conjunto de cementerios observó o no una continuidad o si esta idea responde a la visión de cronistas e historiadore

As is well known, the cloisters of monasteries and cathedrals were being designed as quadrilaterals with porches and rooms arranged around the perimeter by the end of the eighth century. We know how they developed from philological (Fontanelle), documental (Sankt Gallen) and archaeological studies (Munstair, Lorsch or Fulda). The same formula was used in France throughout the 10th and 11th centuries, as is evidenced by the cloisters of Autun, Vezelay and Cluny II, which was originally made of wood until Odilo (994-1049) rebuilt it in marble. Recent findings at the Catalan monastery of Ripoll raise the possibility that full square cloisters were being built south of the Pyrenees before 1000. This cloister should be studied in relation to other Catalan enclosures such as Sant Cugat (beginning 11th c.) which had a stone portico from the outset, or the lower cloister at Sant Pere de Rodes. The morphology of these enclosures can be explained through comparison with other early Catalan examples. Nevertheless, t...

Recent development of built heritage digitisation has not included required interest on scientific control tool. Without such information, such efforts can be useless for later reuse of digital models. Paradata were developed with this purpose but discussion about its content remained limited. This paper aims to provide a first specific set for digital three-dimensional models of built heritage based on other experiences and previous fieldwork. It includes works developed with photogrammetry, 3D scanning and at a lesser extent manual CAD reconstruction. Thanks to these series of paradata it would be possible not only to document the scientific process behind the digitisation of heritage, but also to provide data for further research.
