Deux établissements ruraux de la fin du Second âge du Fer sur le contournement nord de Marmande (Lot-et-Garonne)

Abstract

International audienceDuring the spring and summer 2008, two rescue excavations were conducted on the bypass north of Marmande (dept. Lot-et-Garonne). They focused on two parts of two rural settlements of late Iron Age. These sites were 3 km distant and were both enclosed by a ditch. The first one had a one meter wide ditch. Only one building has been discovered in the 1.800 m2 explored. The second one had a four meters wide ditch. The open area covered approximately 3.200 m2. Two new buildings were found, but one of them may be incomplete because of its position in grip limit. The discoveries includes ceramics, republican amphorae, fragments of grinding wheel, iron small finds and a fragment of a glass bracelet
