Element Description

The archeologists of Nîmes have been particularly sensitive to the presence of horticultural pots. Besides those noted above (House B des Villégiales and 21, rue Séguier), Sébastien Barberan has noted their discovery, out of context, in several excavations: in 1982 at St. Joseph's clinic; in 1993, seven pots at îlot Grill near the amphitheater; and in 1996, at the Ilôt Thérond and in the excavation for the "Quick".
