Limitations antiques et morphologie parcellaire dans le Lunellois (Hérault) : données de fouilles récentes

Abstract

The plain of Lunel and Mauguio has been intensively prospected since 1986. The results of this investigation have allowed to obtain an archeological map listing, on the one hand more than 200 sites which have been identified as settlements, and on the other hand land manure spreading zones which were occupied during Antiquity and early Middle Ages. Moreover, the work of the GdR 926 of Besançon established that several centuriations of Nîmes have marked the rural morphology of the region. Excavations have been carried out on the site of the ancient village of Lunel Viel and on different sites discovered during the prospecting, such as the sites dating back to the late Antiquity and early Middle Ages in Dassargues and the one of the Lanes — Lunel — , the site of the Plantiers — Mudaison — or in the surroundings of the Via Domitia — Saturargues — . During these excavations, the team has succeeded in excavating and studying the remains of the parcels — dug limits, exploitation paths, walls of terrace — respecting the incline of one or another of the regional centuriations. Moreover these excavations have revealed other agricultural installations such as transplantation zones, storage zones with dolium or silos, cultivation ditches dug in the carbonated layer of the soil.
