ABSTRACT
This study examines the phenomenon of “petrification” in the Adour region of the Pyrenees in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, when the area was governed by the viscounts of Béarn. Petrification refers to the building activity undertaken and maintained in both economic and legal terms by this noble family. Here the focus is on a number of monasteries, churches, abbeys, bridges and roads which were a key factor in the improvement of the road network underpinning the pilgrimage route known as the Camino de Santiago. The main objective of their territorial strategy was to provide a means of crossing the gaves or rivers that crisscross the region from southeast to northwest, carving out the fertile valleys of Ossau, Aspe and Barétous.

石头财富:Béarn 子爵在大西洋比利牛斯山脉朝圣之路上的建筑活动(约 1063 – 约 1130)
摘要
本研究考察了 11 和 12 世纪比利牛斯山脉阿杜尔地区的“石化”现象,当时该地区由贝恩子爵统治。石化是指这个贵族家族在经济和法律上进行和维护的建筑活动。这里的重点是许多修道院、教堂、修道院、桥梁和道路,它们是改善道路网络的关键因素,支撑着被称为 Camino de Santiago 的朝圣路线。他们的领土战略的主要目标是提供一种途径,从东南到西北穿越该地区的灌木丛或河流,开辟出奥索、阿斯佩和巴雷图斯肥沃的山谷。
