Waterproofing material from a 2nd century AD bargue from Lyon: looking for the roman know-how to caulk with pitched textiles

Résumé

Thanks to the complete dismantling of this 2nd century AD wrecked ship found in Lyon in order to conserve her, 26 linear metres of waterproofing material made of pitched textiles were removed from the seals between the planks. A new unfolding protocol led to the recovery of larger pieces than in the past, while information on the Roman caulker was made available by looking at the way the material was folded during use. By comparing material from a variety of locations, it was possible to see if a choice had been made to match the textiles and the space.
