• Resumen

  • The drawbacks and advantages of preventive archaeology and the implications for archaeobotanical studies are assessed based on the example of work carried out prior to the construction of the A 750 / A 75 motorway in southern France. Emphasis is given to the most significant charcoal analysis results obtained in sites destined to be rapidly destroyed. They provide a large scale insight on human settlement and land exploitation from the Middle Neolithic to the height of the Roman Empire.
