Le site gallo-romain et médiéval de Glatigny (Mer, Loir-et-Cher) / The gallo-roman and medieval site of Glatigny (Mer, Loir-et-Loir)

As a result of the construction of a building estate, an archeological site was located at Glatigny in the spring of 1982. Two areas of a hundred and fifty square meters were searched for rescue during the works, and lead to the discovery of prehistoric and protohistoric articles. The final Tene period has left only incomplete traces of a constructed site. From then, the site was permanently occupied, and the aboriginal establishment slowly changed into a gallo-roman villa that reached its best in the second century A.D. In the fourth century sheds were built, a type of construction to be seen later on, in the Merovingian and Carolingian periods. In the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries a lot of silos were dug out. Although this modest rural site is a good example of a continuous occupation, the narrow area searched on this occasion didn't allow an extensive restitution of the site.
