Bornes royales et héritages culturels et environnementaux dans les forêts des Vosges saônoises: Communes de Haut-du-Them - Château-Lambert, Servance - Miellin et Ternuay-Melay-et-Saint-Hilaire

The second year of prospecting in this sector of the Ballons des Vosges Saônoises made it possible to carry out a detailed inventory of the royal fleur-de-lis sandstone markers dating from the 18th century. This boundary demarcates the western part of a vast mountainous forest located in three municipalities: Belfahy, Servance-Miellin and Haut-de-Them-Château-Lambert. We used the land register to find the boundaries on the ground, already highlighted by Mr. Jean-Louis Bernard, volunteer prospector, and were thus able to rediscover more than fifty new boundaries still in place, by following the plot boundaries. All terminals were photographed, measured and geolocated.The RGE ALTI® MNT1 one-meter IGN LiDAR, which we used during our research, made it possible to discover and partly verify large areas of charcoal exploitation. More than 2,500 coal platforms have been identified with LiDAR, they are mainly located in the Ballons Comtois National Nature Reserve, where access is limited for a large part of the year.These charcoal pits certainly date from the 18th and 19th centuries, periods of operation of the glassworks and forges present in the region. More generally, many other remains were detected using the Vosges Saônoises LiDAR DEM: ruins of farms, summer pasture shelters, old road networks, high sites, old mine entrances , dumps, quarries, military remains, combat zones from 1914, etc. In 2022, we particularly carried out a search for old quarries, often known locally but not inventoried and not geolocated in the archaeological map of the Regional Archeology Service. Several balloon granite operations are present in the commune of Servance-Miellin. Dating from the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, the rock was exploited for the market of funerary monuments, street furniture, buildings and large monuments. Other quarries exploited rocks for other, more prestigious markets. These rocks, mainly green porphyries or ancient green porphyries (Trachy-Labrador), very hard, were fashionable at the end of the 19th century, they were used to decorate numerous national or international monuments. Two granite factories were active in the upper Ognon valley: one in Servance since 1835 and the other, later, in Ternuay.
