The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history,
using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications.
The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis.
I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements.
A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign.
One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.
Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade.
While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time.
This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated.
Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

Phase 2 - 1090s [1090] - tower base
Base to south tower with rib vaults, while shortly afterwards the lower courses of the west crossing piers and nave piers to the second bay, and then in the next campaign the next bay; no vaults were planned for the aisles; lower two stages of the square tower.
Rationale for dating : Analysis in "The Ark" 4:15; [ the Strapper Team for 1095 - some with fronds are like Crepy etc, so Acy would probably be before the first crusade; every other part of the building is butted into the tower, and the capitals have tiers of units, like others before the crusade.
