| Summary: | The Petits Jardins site in Isle-et-Bardais (Allier) is located in the heart of the Tronçais forest, one of the most beautiful oakwoods in Europe, on an area rich in clay and sand. Nine excavation campaigns were conducted between 2002 and 2014, which allowed to identify two main occupation phases. After the establishment of an ancient sanctuary, the site is reoccupied by tilers who, in the Early Middle Ages, set up two ovens in the ruins of one of the temples. “Roman-style” tiles are then produced (tegulae and imbrices), lighter and smaller than the ancient models found locally. These kinds of workshops are rare in the Early Middle Ages and some hypotheses can be made about the destination of the tiles produced on this site. |
