Eysses avant Excisum : une agglomération gauloise près de Villeneuve-sur-Lot (Lot-et-Garonne)
Résumé
Eysses, located in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, at the North of Agen, was, until recently, mainly known for its vicus: Excisum, mentioned in the itinerary of Antoninus and the Table of Peutinger. For about ten years now, many investigations have been conducted by the Inrap, the Archaeology and History Society of Villeneuve-sur-Lot and the Regional Service of Archaeology of Aquitaine. They have revealed a dense and extended occupation of the final Tene at the east of the roman monumental center. Thus, the six preventive excavations made by the Inrap between 2005 and 2009 have enabled to study larger areas and to identify more precisely the different aspects of the occupation of the 2nd century BC. Therefore, some domestic and artisanal areas have been identified. They are particularly characterized by the presence of buildings, wells and pottery kilns. Moreover, the important amount of italic imports reveals there were some important contacts with the Mediterranean world.
