Capitals for Chacrise, Saint-Jean-Baptiste 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. 
    	    <p>Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

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 - 1160s [1163] - east


East two bays against small earlier crossing; considerable renovations have disguised these junctions. Capitals have been restored.
 
Rationale for dating : Closest connection is Nouvion phases 12 and 16, though Chacrise looks restored.

Phase 3 - 1160s - tower I


Tower I over earlier crossing.
 
Rationale for dating : Tower carvers seem more old-fashioned than those who worked on the more visible projects; and is like Acy in carving and details; Analysis in "The Ark" 4:218, see MCS - Victoire Team.

Phase 4 - 1180s - crossing


Crossing inserted under tower as the earlier church was removed, thus raising the space of the interior.
 
Rationale for dating : no sign of formal designs and therefore austere m ode prevalent in the 1180s.
