Des éléments de charronnerie gallo-romaine à Châteaumeillant (Cher)

| description | The excavation of the well no 269 in the Iron Age settlement of Châteaumeillant (Cher) exposed a considerable set of objects, dated from the end of the 2nd c. AD to the start of the 3rd c. AD, among which the iron objects are noteworthy. We identified some tools, building and household objects among others, but it is the high frequency of transport-related objects that gives a special feature to this set. We could thus identify some parts of a chariot’s internal structure: drive system, wheel parts, framework lining parts, etc. Their technical study and their comparison with other parts found elsewhere in the Empire territory, mainly in Neupotz (Germany), Italy or Roman provinces of Thrace and Pannonia, enabled us to submit a first approach of this type of vehicle. Their identification is highly interesting for the study of transport techniques during the Roman period, especially in Gaul where such a concentration remains unprecedented. |
