Erratum to ‘Naming, relocating and dating the woods of Notre-Dame “forest”, first results based on collated data and archaeological surveys of the remains’ [Journal of Cultural Heritage Volume 56C (July-August 2022) 75-84

Abstract

• A survey in terms of meaning and witness: identify, give a name, and even replace wooden pieces in the original Notre-Dame de Paris's framework using digital resources. • 3D restitution is helpful to create precise wood volume estimations. • First results of dendrochronology enable the phasing of the different parts of the Notre-Dame's frameworks. • The relocated remains dating will confirm or overturn archaeological hypothesis and allow wood resources studies. The tragic fire of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15 th 2019 has provided researchers with a wide variety of materials to study. The condition of the framework remains does not allow any reuse, which creates an unprecedented opportunity to study the charred pieces of the frame: about 10,000 for the highest estimates. But upstream from the wooden items study, an inventory is required to establish methods that are consistent with the potential of the charred remains of the cathedral's framework. The purpose of this article is therefore to present the problems raised, the methods applied, the potential of the remains of the n-dame's frame - so called the "forest" - and the first results.
