Abstract
The Sainte-Propice hilltop settlement at Velaux (B.-du-Rh.). The Late Antiquity occupation. In the lower Arc valley, the Sainte-Propice plateau revealed a pre-Roman settlement, where later structures were built during the Late Antiquity period, and mainly in the northwestern extremity of the site. A limited excavation in this last zone enabled to unearth the stone foundations of a single dwelling. The article is mainly concerned with the analysis of the different types of pottery brought to light in the strata related to this habitation : clear Terra Sigillata D ceramic, sigillata -derived Early Christian ware, common pottery made of dark clay (local or imported). The explored house seem to have lasted a relatively short period, between the middle of the 5th to, at the latest, the middle of the 6th century A. D.
