Le four 3 de l'atelier de potier de Saint-Bézard et ses productions(Aspiran, Hérault). Contribution à la connaissance de l'artisanat potier en Gaule Narbonnaise à la fin de l'époque augustéenne

Abstract

This contribution intends to present in detail the vestiges of the kiln 3 of the workshop of Saint-Bézard (Aspiran, Hérault), searched in the middle of 1970s and which was the object, in 2009-2010 of additional observations. The study allows to approach the methodological problems connected to the study of these structures of cooking, but also to propose a thorough morphological and technical analysis which benefits from comparisons made on the scale of the Nabonensis on about twenty kilns. The question of the productions is also approached as that of the chronological arguments moved forward to specify the date of functioning of this kiln.
