Abstract
In 1973-74 the R.A.N. published a systematic inventory of Roman centuriations in Provence. Mrs J. Soyer, author of the article, exposed that numerous remains of Roman cadastration could be detected in current boundaries. According to her, the surroundings of "Etang de Berre" (Bouches-du-Rhône) had kept features of at least four roman centuriations. Since then, a further study of these basic frame- works and settlements around the "Etang de Berre" has been undertaken by a team, in a pluridiciplinary research group context. An analysis of current boundaries, based upon the cohesive agrarian units, and the relationship between different components of the landscape lead us to reconsider the identifications proposed by earlier studies. The current modern landscape seems to be more the result of a progressive and complex change than issued directly from Roman boundaries.
