Évolution d'une zone d'habitat rural du Ier s. av. J.-C. au IIIe s. ap. J.-C. : Chassieu-Genas L'Épine (Rhône)

Abstract

Excavations carried out before the improvement of the roads east of Lyons yielded quite a few ancient deposits at the northern outskirts of the Narbonnaise; Chassieu L'Epine is one of them. This site spreading more than four hectares allowed the study of a settlement dating back from the first century B. C. to the third century A.D. The cleaning brought to the fore a large site whose ancient occupations are not in-keeping with rural world schemes: the huge space observed cannot be compared either to a villa or to a secondary urban area. The first century B. C. could fit with a «native farm» scheme. But beginning with the Augustean age, two settlements at least are placed side by side; they include light material, kilns, boardings and enclosures; two metal workshops are added to the set. While during the second third of the first century A.D. the occupation of the site suddenly declined a few isolated signs bear witness that it lasted until the third century.
