%X This paper describes experimental archaeo-metallurgical research on crucible steel, executed as a master project to obtain the master degree in conservation.  After evaluating the results of different manufacturing techniques, the so-called Georgian crucible steel technique showed results that were remarkably similar to archaeological evidence from Merv, Turkmenistan. An objective historical reflection was made. Cet article d¨¦crit une ¨¦tude exp¨¦rimentale arch¨¦o-m¨¦tallurgique sur l'acier creuset, men¨¦e en tant que projet ma trise pour l¡¯obtention du grade de master en conservation et restauration. Apr¨¨s avoir ¨¦valu¨¦ les r¨¦sultats des techniques diff¨¦rentes de fabrication, la technique de l¡¯acier au creuset g¨¦orgien a montr¨¦ des r¨¦sultats similaires aux preuves arch¨¦ologiques de Merv, au Turkm¨¦nistan. Une r¨¦flexion historique a ¨¦t¨¦ men¨¦e ¨¤ ce sujet.
