Recherches sur les origines de Grenoble d'après l'étude du mobilier archéologique. La fouille du parking Lafayette

Abstract

Archaeological excavations on the site of the Lafayette carpark were made in 1974. These, together with those made in the «rue de la République» in 1963, have made an important contribution to our knowledge of the development of this district of Ancient Grenoble. The study of the archaeological findings has now clarified the chronology of the different stages of this development and confirmed the existence of an unprecedented local pottery industry. Taken as a whole, the findings may indicate the presence of a rectangular urban street plan.
