Viticulture et équipements de production dans la cité de Lodève durant le haut Empire : apport des découvertes récentes autour de Clermont-L'Hérault
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: Preventive archaeology projects carried out over recent years on the site of the former ancient city of Lodève. in the Hérault valley (situated in the Hérault department of the Languedoc-Roussillon region of Southern France), have allowed several studies of agricultural units active under the High Roman Empire. They provide evidence of a relatively strong overall structure, possessing a wide variety of production equipment. The nature of these installations and their association with a large area of winegrowing indicates a developed winegrowing economy and quite an unusual organisation of production. Most of the units appear to be modest in size, but their combined number may be very high. A number of them are concentrated in small rural agglomerations, in what were most certainly specialised groups (traduction G. Tearse).
