Une faisanderie moderne à Saint-Pathus (Seine-et-Marne) by Jean-Yves Dufour

“…It can be used as a model for the identification of all kinds of enclosures intended for the breeding of birds.The most recent occupation layers of the “Small Elms” site in Saint-Pathus, are the remains of a very particular breeding enclosure dated to the 18th century.The remains of this rural establishment are a quadrangular trenched enclosure, with an identified surface of 2250 m². The internal perimeter of the enclosure is bordered by a series of small structures.The functional interpretation of this rural establishment is enabled by the comparison of the archaeological data with the plan of Intendance of Paris (1784); the excavated enclosure corresponds to a pheasantry, named as such. …”
