A lecture in Bléré examines the Touraine countryside in the Gallic and Roman periods. Jean-Marie Laruaz, an archaeologist, presents findings from preventive archaeology in Indre-et-Loire. Dozens of rural sites provide material for studying patterns of land use. Recent excavations at Bléré and Autrèche give two concrete examples, connecting the department’s archaeological research with the history of its countryside.
