2. Stratigraphie

Abstract

La stratigraphie a mis en évidence des couches associées à l’occupation du site et des dépôts liés à des remblaiements essentiellement naturels.Les séries d’occupation paraissent cycliques. Un niveau de préparation est soigneusement aménagé. Il supporte un lit de matériaux organiques (cendres) qui forme le niveau d’occupation, riche en mobilier céramique.Quatre occupations se succèdent, représentées dans la salle centrale, les couloirs des unités I et IV. La salle annexe est dépourvue de ce remplissage. La série stratigraphique fossilise peu à peu les aménagements architecturaux : la configuration de l’espace intérieur se modifie donc peu à peu.La hauteur libre sous voûte (1,25 m à l’origine) diminue par l’accumulation des couches. Les occupants limitent cette régression en raclant la roche de la voûte afin de l’étaler sur le sol, préparant ainsi une nouvelle occupation. Cette procédure évite d’aller chercher des matériaux à l’extérieur de la cavité.A la fin de la dernière occupation, les hommes referment les accès au souterrain. Avec le temps la terre des terrains sus‑jacents pénètre dans la cavité et fossilise la stratigraphie d’occupation. Rappelons que deux accès avaient été remblayés volontairement dès la fin du creusement.

The stratigraphy of the site reveals the presence of both occupation layers and layers of primarily natural deposits.The occupation sequences appear to be cyclical: a carefully laid floor layer is covered by an occupation layer comprised of organic material, primarily ash, and abundant pottery sherds. Four successive occupation phases can be identified in the central chamber and the two corridors (units I and IV). These same layers are not present in the side‑room. The accummulation of layers slowly covered over certain architectural features and modified the way that the interior space was used.The initially available height beneath the vaulting of 1,25 metres diminished as layers accummulated. The occupants attempted to prevent this loss of space by scraping away rock from the vaulting and spreading it on the ground to make a new floor rather than fetching additional materials from the outside.At the end of the final occupation phase the entrances to the souterrain were closed off. With time soil has filtered in and sealed the stratigraphic sequence. Two other entrances had been deliberately back‑filled following the construction of the chamber.
