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 7 - 1110s [1114] - east (a)
East end continued after crusade in at least 4 campaigns for ribs throughout; apse shaft bases added onto the inside faces of the walls, from misalignments with the exterior corners; en1 pier to different design and dimensions to those in the apse, and therefore in a different campaign, and in another the rib shafts on crossing side of w1 were added up to 8th course, and on north side a projection to support arch over entry into aisle, and with a shaft ready for rib vaults in the aisles; includes apse capitals

Rationale for dating : The Duke for 1114 and similar to Foulangues - LongLeaf well before 1118 in Phase 8 - Victoire II for 1116 - Olivier-T closer to Bury than Etampes.

Phase 8 - 1110s [1118] - east (a) 1
Apse and sanctuary walls and vaults continued to capitals to eastern crossing piers and start of e2 doubleau; in north chapel replaced southern half of the entry arch to a different arc and pointed, during which the older pier was encased within a larger en1 crossing pier to support the intended tower; as the groin vault follows the outline of the pointed arch it was built then, while the stonework in the groins precludes the possibility that only a part of the vault had been demolished and rebuilt; thus the whole of the groin was built with the enlarged crossing pier; the coping and roof over the north chapel built as vault filled over;

Phase 10 - 1120s [1126] - n nave 1(a)
West crossing aisle on north side to capitals; replaced but I have assumed close to originals. At least five campaigns. A piers. B west front with chunky griffes. C W.c arches and Arcade Arches. D simple ribs and boss. E more complex ribs and shafts over piers and complex boss
Rib profile round 1-2, pointed 3-4. 1-2 is English style vault with dropped round ribs. Could these have been built in 50s and piers put under them later?
Junctions determined mainly from profiles of stair treads. A to 12, B to 19 with W.c jamb. C two treads with caps to W1-3? and W.c arch. E to 24. F varied section to 30 without ribs and caps. G to triforium.
Slit windows confirm this scenario. West wall with adjacent walls to last bay and dado arcades.
B probably Bronze. Corbel, details = Chartres.
C = Taverny K. Same caps in (t) and (c).
Shafts over piers show same step between 2 and 3.
