Elemental and isotopic tracing of Roman lead (ores, sediments and archaeological artefacts from the ancient city of Vienne - Isère).

**Description of the project

"The city of Vienne (France) experienced during the Roman occupation the development of important water installations under lead piping and the manufacture of numerous objects made of this same metal. At present, the historical archives indicate a first exploitation of the silver lead mines of Vienne dated from the XIXth century.

This project is part of a major transdisciplinary project at ISTerre combining archaeoseismicity and geochemical studies on the Viennese site in Isère. It aims to analyse the isotopic signatures of these different materials as well as of the sediments of the Vienna forum and to compare them with the signatures of the silver-lead mines of Vienna in order to know whether they were already exploited for local production in the Roman period."
