Cachette et rejets des silex taillés

Trois petites concentrations de silex tailles ont ete mises au jour dans l'emprise des fouilles. La premiere est un petit depot de supports bruts en silex qui a ete situe a l'exterieur du bâtiment au pied d'un muret. Le depot se compose de dix-huit artefacts dont douze eclats et six nucleus qui devaient se trouver dans un contenant souple. Cinq remontages concernant quinze pieces ont ete realises. Les dimensions des galets de silex debites, supe-rieures a la moyenne de ceux decouverts sur le site et leur bonne qualite nous orientent vers une reserve de matiere premiere brute transformable en outils. L'emplacement de la trouvaille, contre un muret et partiellement masque par un surplomb, va dans le sens d'une cache. Plus importante numeriquement, la seconde a ete mise au jour dans la structure 3 et doit correspondre aux dechets d'une session de taille rejetes sur place. Une interpretation similaire peut etre proposee pour la troisieme, situee au sud de la structure 4, qui est essentiellement composee d'esquilles. Abstract Three small concentrations of knapped flints have been studied in the course of excavations. The first is a small deposit of raw material flints that were unearthed outside the building at the foot of a wall. The deposit consists of eighteen artefacts including twelve flakes and six cores that were in a flexible container. Five refittings concerning fifteen pieces were carried out. The dimensions of the knapped flint pebbles, above the average of those found at the site and the good quality of the flint point us to a supply of raw material convertible in tools. The location of the find, against a wall and partially hidden by an overhang support the idea of a hiding-place. More important numerically, the second was found in the structure 3 and may match the waste of a knapping session here. A similar interpretation can be proposed for the third concentration, located at the south of structure 4, which is for the main part composed of knapping micro-debris.
