Vincent DAMOUR ADAPTING ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVALUATION AFTER TOP-SOIL REMOVAL: the Roman Site of Servon (Seine-et-Marne), "Parc de la Roseraie"

Abstract

An archaeological evaluation that was ordered by the Regional Archaeology Service after an illegal development was carried out in 2015 at Sevron (Seine-et-Marne) over 6.5 ha. Most of the top soil had already been removed before the arrival of the archaeologists, which led to a campaign of field walking as well as the usual evaluation techniques of the opening up parallel trenches. A probable high status Roman settlement dating from the 1st to the 3rd century was discovered.
