Deux fois par jour, la marée dévoile les rives de la Tamise, permettant à des dizaines de Londoniens de venir ratisser les plages à la recherche de vestiges archéologiques. Ces trouvailles, fortement régulées par la ville, permettent de reconstruire, collaborativement, l'histoire de la capitale britannique.   Les cloches de la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres retentissent au loin. Les touristes font la queue devant la Tate Modern, musée situé sur la rive opposée. La marée atteindra son point le plus bas dans une demi-heure. Alors, Carolina se fraie un chemin sur la plage de galets de Cannon Street, dotée de gants en latex et de bottes imperméables. « Ici, c'est un endroit très spécial, s'enthousiasme-t-elle, on peut trouver des restes très anciens, jusqu'à l'époque romaine, mais on n'a pas le droit de creuser. »   Ce matin-là, ils sont une poignée armés, comme elle, d'un petit seau en plastique, à ratisser du regard la rive de Tamise. Leur passion : le « mudlarking », un mot intraduisible qui décrit les fouilles archéologiques entreprises par ces Londoniens amateurs sur les bords de leur fleuve. En quelques minutes, Carolina a déjà ramassé quelques trésors : « Voyez, un fragment de céramique bleue ici, sûrement un vase. Ça, c'est un bout d'os, du temps où les bouchers jetaient leurs carcasses dans la Tamise... Et là, un morceau de pipe, mais je ne vais pas le prendre. » Il faut dire que ces longs tubes d'argile, parfois accompagnés d'une chambre à tabac entière, sont trop communs pour représenter un quelconque intérêt pour les mudlarkers expérimentés.   Le frisson de la découverte  Londonienne d'adoption depuis 20 ans, Carolina s'intéresse particulièrement aux fossiles. Sur son téléphone, elle fait défiler les photos d'oursins fossilisés trouvés près de chez elle, au sud-est de la capitale. À deux pas, une autre chercheuse, Emma, s'émerveille d'un éclat de céramique romaine... Après tout, la « City » de Londres a été construite sur les frontières de Londinium, fondée au premier siècle. Emma s'empresse de prendre une photo pour la partager sur son compte Instagram : « Je viens ici parce qu'on trouve surtout des vestiges de l'époque Tudor. J'adore trouver des pièces qui datent du règne de Henri VIII ou d'Elizabeth Ire... Je frissonne quand je pense que je suis la première personne à la toucher depuis des siècles. »   Carolina connaît bien cette excitation : « On trouve de tout, c'est vraiment une manière de reconstruire l'histoire de Londres. » Et justement, parce qu'on trouve de tout et de toutes les époques, il a fallu réguler la pratique. « Il faut un permis pour mudlarker », explique Carolina, pour qui l'attente a duré plusieurs mois. Seuls 4 000 Londoniens sont accrédités en même temps, et la liste d'attente dépasse les 10 000 noms... Les agents de la Port of London Authority (PLA) contrôlent de temps en temps. « Il n'y a pas de formation, mais on doit s'engager à respecter les différentes zones, et à déclarer ce qu'on trouve si l'objet date d'il y a plus de 300 ans », poursuit Carolina. Si la trouvaille présente un intérêt archéologique, elle se retrouve sur le bureau de Stuart Wyatt, officier des trouvailles auprès du Programme d'antiquités mobile (PAS). Le chercheur l'examine, tente de reconstituer l'histoire de l'artéfact puis le restitue au mudlarker ou recommande la transmission aux institutions culturelles... Le processus prend environ cinq mois.   Une exposition pour mettre en valeur ces trésors du fleuve... et leur face sombre  Cette année, pour la première fois, un musée londonien a prêté ses étagères aux plus belles trouvailles. En quelques mois, plusieurs milliers de curieux ont franchi les portes de Secrets of the Thames, l'exposition du Museum of London Docklands.   « Nous avons des objets qui reflètent l'histoire portuaire de Londres, comme ce cadran solaire dont les deux parties ont été trouvées à huit ans d'intervalle, détaille James Stewart, guide intarissable sur l'exposition. Beaucoup de bijoux, quelques couteaux de l'époque Tudor... La vase a permis de conserver le bois et le cuir du manche. » Dans une armoire, un œil de verre des années 1920, frappant de réalisme ; dans une autre, les médailles remportées par le tennisman Peter Fleming à Wimbledon et jetées dans la Tamise par un cambrioleur...   Le guide s'arrête devant une vitrine consacrée à l'histoire coloniale de la capitale britannique, et pointe du doigt le visage d'un homme africain sculpté dans une pipe : « Dans l'Empire, on commercialisait du tabac, du sucre, dont la production dépendait de l'esclavage. Des objets comme cette pipe sont typiques des représentations du XVIIIe siècle, déshumanisantes, comme pour justifier l'esclavage. » La pipe, qui reprend les stéréotypes de l'époque, a été trouvée aux côtés de cauris, un coquillage utilisé comme monnaie en Afrique de l'Ouest, ramené en larges quantités par les marchands coloniaux.   Les premiers mudlarkers, à l'aube du XIXe siècle, peignaient les rives de la Tamise à la recherche de morceaux de charbon, de cordes, de métaux : « Des choses qu'ils pouvaient revendre pour survivre dans le Londres de l'époque victorienne », bien loin de ces nouveaux mudlarkers en quête d'un frisson de découvertes... Mais la survie de la pratique a permis de compléter le tableau déjà très riche de l'histoire de la capitale, selon James Stewart : « Tellement de gens mudlarkent aujourd'hui. Les objets qu'ils trouvent et l'endroit où ils les trouvent permettent de comprendre à quoi ressemblait la vie de nos ancêtres, plus encore qu'un livre ou qu'un tableau puisqu'il s'agit d'objets du quotidien. »   Même s'il ne représente qu'une goutte d'eau (3%) des découvertes archéologiques nationales, le mudlarking fournit chaque année 2 000 trésors potentiels aux institutions culturelles.   À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: la préservation du mur d'Hadrien
