Abstract
A Lower-Empire Set of Potteries in Bruay-Labuissière (Pas-de-Calais). Emergency excavation works were carried out in 1993 in Bruay-Labuissière, not far from the area where craftsmen's workshops were discovered in 1971. The findings are not well structured and are difficult to interpret (foot-path ?, dwelling-related installations ?) but pits have yielded a wealth of pottery findings datable to the extreme end of the IVth century. This collection offers many similarities with other discoveries made in Arras and betokens a late occupation in a rural area hitherto supposed to have been abandoned after the invasions fo the second half of the IIIrd century. This discovery is to be brought into parallel with another pit in which late potteries and a fragment of a moulded pottery originating in Germany were found.
