Capitals for Baulne-en-Brie, Saint-Barthèlemy 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. 
    	    <p>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.
    	    <p>Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade. 
    	    <p>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.

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 1 - 1080s [1085] - nave (a)


Nave arcade with only geometric patterns on imposts with rectangular crossing piers with projection for nave; the nave corners are square while the crossing is splayed and piers wider suggesting they were part of the earlier apse.
 
Rationale for dating : This concept is found only before the Crusade.

Phase 2 - 1160s [1169] - south


Southern chapel added with wall bases first and joint over torus and above that the uniformity in dimensions shows chapel set out at the one time with shafts for rib vaults with three small windows to east; ES1s capitals in chapel possibly the first with simple impost, and misalignments suggest they had been moved from some other place, date possibly 1130s, the others were later

Rationale for dating : Analysis in "The Ark" 4:72 [*MCS - Gamma - Strapper design by Leonard for 1169; two with little leaves added indicating the beginning of the foliate phase that would become universal over the next decade.

Phase 4 - 1180s [1185] - apse


Apse 1-3 and raise the crossing with big caps, probably in two campaigns as the supports for the vaults in the east are part of the design while on the crossing piers they are squeezed into corners; when they demolished earlier apse, left unfinished masonry that was tidied up later.
