Résumé : | Numerous palaeo metallurgical sites (n )70) characterized by slag presenting a homogeneous typology have been reported on the Mont-Lozere Massif Southern France). These activities took place in the medieval period. The silicated slag matrix comprises mainly Pb (25%), Sb (0.4%), and several thousand parts per million of As, Cu, and Zn. Soil samples were collected in and around two sites, to understand the dispersion mechanism affecting the slag tailings through use of metal concentrations and lead isotopic compositions. The majority of polluted soil samples show high enrichment factors (EF) for Pb and Sb, slightly lower EFs for Cu, and much lower EFs for As and Zn. We show that this “old” metal pollution was physically dispersed, through erosion of workshop soils and slag tailings, in a restricted area (ca. 200 m down slope form the site). There is no evidence for massive leaching of slag metals by soil waters, except for Zn. Thus, the pollution is mainly due to the metal-making process, i.e., smoke-fallout, pieces of ore, the crackling of smelting ore outside the oven during reduction, and charcoal, etc. The lead isotopic compositions of the soils define a binary mixing trend between local granite or background soil and slag (which represent the workshop soil). Simple mass balance equations using either Pb isotopes or Pb concentrations suggest that between 40 and 100% of the total Pb in soils comes from the Medieval workshop pollution, leaving any later pollution negligible. The large number of sites on the Mont-Lozere means this medieval pollution is significant and poses a real environmental risk. (Résumé de l'éditeur) |
