A 200m long trial excavation of a major Roman site adjacent to the Durance River in the Ecrins (Southern French Alps). The aim of this trial trench was to assess the results from air-photographic and geophysical survey data. This excavation thus allows us to place the archaeological site in its landscape context and consider its relationship with changes in the local river systems.
The flood deposits (coming from an inactive branch of the Byasse river) are towards the bottom end of the trench. The Durance River is some 400m further away from the top edge of the trench.
