Le Pont de Pierre de Charlieu (Loire). Archéologie d’un ouvrage d’art : construction et évolution architecturale by Marc Guyon

“…In 1938, the three southern piers are strengthened.At present, where often the remains of bridges are destroyed by excavators and nobody can intervene, the archaeological investigation has to make substantial data on the knowledge of this bridge.According to construction contracts, this type of foundation is well known from the fifteenth century, but it remains poorly documented archaeologically.This unique study shed light on the organization of a general raft and a foundation of piles dating back to the fifteenth century.…”
