Recherches archéologiques sur le site de Saint-Étienne de Caen

Abstract

Joëlle Burnouf, Monique Colin-Souef, Anne-Marie Flambard, Annick Letellier, Archeological research at Saint-Etienne de Caen. The remains of the first Benedictine Abbey of Saint Etienne at Caen were brought to light during the exploration undertaken in 1968-1969. The refectory was built at the end of the 12th century and immediately afterwards followed the cloistered gallery. At the beginning of the 12th century a fountain was built in the south-west corner. In the middle of the 12th century the west wing was built to house the store rooms and the guest house. A pit was found in the cloisters which revealed a great quantity of ceramics dated around the end of the 11th century. In the second pit found at the base of the west wall a large number of vases were discovered similar to those found at the Echiquier in Caen, but these were produced especially for the monastery.
