Abstract
Between 1995 and 2004 quarrying by the aggregate extraction company Cemex over an area of seventy hectares in the double meander of Armentieres upstream of Meaux provided an exceptional opportunity to investigate a site located in the floodplain of the lower Marne valley. This very large preventive excavation area revealed multiple traces of occupation of a site occupied intermittently from the 5th millennium BC to the 4th century AD. Ten burials figure among the remains uncovered; they were excavated and dated to the Middle Neolithic II period. Such features remain a rare find in the northern half of France and are presented here in detail. A synthesis, which sets the site of Changis in its Middle Neolithic regional context concludes the article.
