Recent research at Saint-Martin-au-Val opens a window onto the transformation of ancient Autricum into early Christian Chartres. Sarcophagi, objects and surviving remains are set beside archival material in the exhibition. Together they trace political, religious and funerary changes, bringing excavated discoveries into contact with written accounts of this less familiar period.
