“Une nouvelle Orléans - Mémoire de fouilles”

The collection does not pretend to provide a detailed summary of all the results of the archaeological diagnoses and excavations carried out – there are simply too many: almost 11,000 archaeological layers and remains, over 17,000 photographs and 1,000 surveys; the collection of 560 crates of objects has been studied and identified in two diagnosis reports and four excavation reports, representing close to 5,000 pages of new knowledge going from prehistory to the present day.

New discoveries in Esvres-sur-Indre (Indre-et-Loire)

A preventive archaeological dig was carried out from April to June 2013 prior to the building of four detached houses on a site that covers a burial ground dating from the late Second Iron Age and early Roman period. It was the fourth dig carried out on the site since 2008. 74 tombs in all have been uncovered, 31 of them in 2013. The remains are currently being studied at INRAP’s archaeological centre in Tours.
