Archaeological prospection by test trenches covering about fort Y hectares of a future gravel pit and archaeological excavations of about 15 hectares, conducted between 1989 and 1994, allowed a study of human occupation, settlement history and landscape change from the Neolithic to the Roman times. The study area covers an exceptionally large surface situated in the Holocene river plain of the Moselle valley near Crévéchamps, Meurthe-et-Moselle. With about 7000 recorded archaeological features, Marie-Pierre Koenig and her team followed a rigorous methodology to determine how, overt wo millennia, humans settled and lived in a landscape and settlement micro-region impacted by the shifting course of the Moselle river. The scientific approach comprises the grouping of the archaeological features according to their function, a typological analysis of them and the study of their setting in the former landscape, reconstructed by means of different environmental analyses. Due to a remarkable study of the Bronze and Iron pottery, supported by comparisons with numerous sites of Northwestern Europe, the authors suggest an evolutionary scheme of the settlement and its history. This approach is already considered to be a major reference for settlement archaeology.The first land clearing began during Neolithic times. During the following Bronze and Iron Age, settlement density increased. Palisades, roads and trenches followed the natural delimitations formed by the ancient river channels, while agricultural activities on the gravel domes in the alluvial river plain were moved cyclically. Later, the Gallo-Roman population drained and parcelized the land. Farms continued to exist, with Gallic traditions persisted, but human activities became more diverse with the opening of a large clay-pit -until a flood in the 2nd century AD led the occupants to abandon this excessively humid zone.The scientific results are enriched by a meticulous iconography and ample documentation: pottery catalogue, building descriptions, results of 14C datings, an index of the features, general maps and an index locorum. Chapter summaries given in English and German provide international readers with quick access to the main results.

L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de publier les résultats de la recherche lancée en 2004 dans l’ACI « Espaces et territoires » et poursuivie dans le cadre de l’ANR, en 2008. Ce programme de recherche a porté sur la dynamique spatiotemporelle des territoires, abordée dans la longue durée, du Néolithique au Moyen Âge, selon différentes thématiques et dans plusieurs microrégions de France et d’Europe. Ce volume présente les résultats de deux axes de recherche : la « dynamique des finages dans la longue durée » (Antiquité, Moyen Âge) et les « dynamiques de circulation et de consommation de produits bruts et manufacturés » (Néolithique, âge du bronze). The aim of this book is to publish the results of the research launched in 2004 in the ACI "Espaces et territoires" and continued in 2008 in the framework of the ANR (French National Research Agency). This research programme focused on the spatio-temporal dynamics of territories, approached over the long term, from the Neolithic period to the Middle Ages, according to different themes and in several micro-regions of France and Europe. This volume presents the results of two lines of research: the "dynamics of finishing in the long term" (Antiquity, Middle Ages) and the "dynamics of circulation and consumption of raw and manufactured products" (Neolithic, Bronze Age). El objetivo de este libro es publicar los resultados de la investigación iniciada en 2004 en la ACI "Espacios y Territorios" y continuada en el marco de la ANR en 2008. Este programa de investigación se centró en la dinámica espacio-temporal de los territorios, abordada a largo plazo, desde el período neolítico hasta la Edad Media, según diferentes temas y en varias microrregiones de Francia y Europa. Este volumen presenta los resultados de dos líneas de investigación: la "dinámica del acabado a largo plazo" (Antigüedad, Edad Media) y la "dinámica de la circulación y el consumo de materias primas y productos manufacturados" (Neolítico, Edad de Bronce).
