Abstract
The Arriasse valley has yielded the remains of two silo-pits for grain from the beginning of the Early Iron Age, anterior to the intervention of Greek and Etruscan trade in the region. The structures were filled in by detritus coming from the habitat settled nearby, of which no other traces remain. Their capacity appears to indicate the use by a family rather than a community. These dug-in silos are the oldest discovered in eastern Languedoc up till now. They confirm the idea that the use of this type of long-term storage of grain does not directly depend on a particular demand for cereals by the first Etruscan and Greek merchants.
