L’aqueduc du Gier : nouvelles données sur le pont-siphon de Beaunant à Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon (Métropole de Lyon) by David Baldassari, François Blondel, Stéphane Gaillot

“…The presence of this masonry structure suggests that in Antiquity the main channels of the river probably passed between the piers at the bottom of the eastern slope of the valley.Beyond this indication of the old route of the river, the geoarchaeological approach also provides matter for discussion on the possible causes of the collapse of the bridge, which probably involved one or more consecutive or associated factors: weaknesses in the subsoil, the influence of meteorological factors or natural disasters.The data acquired during this excavation contribute significantly to ideas about the techniques and architectural choices that governed the construction of the bridge, together with more general thinking about the dating of a hydraulic structure as important as the Gier aqueduct, which is of not insignificant impact for the analysis of the urban development of the Roman colony of Lugdunum.…”
