Artefacts and Raw Materials in Byzantine Archival Documents / Objets et matériaux dans les documents d'archives byzantins, hosted by the Comité Français des Études Byzantines, is an open access database that aims to bring together all the terms for artifacts and raw materials mentioned in Byzantine archival documents. The regularly updated database includes over 5000 entries. Users can browse the database by artifact, document, or “synthesis.” 

Artifact records constitute the core of the database. Each record corresponds to one occurrence of a term in a document. These records provide commentary on the specifics of the term and the passage in which of the text in which it is found as well as a transliteration of the term, French and English translations of the term in the context of the entry, material(s) used for its manufacture, and classification categories. Document records provides a bibliographic reference and basic information about document type, date, and issuing authority. Synthesis records compile and summarize different occurrences of the same term within the database. The website is in French, but the database can be searched in English.
