subject

description

Archaeological and historical data to do with the movement of populations and goods in the Seine catchment area have not yet been overviewed for the Roman period. The Arkéaube conference offers an opportunity to present research on this subject. We can observe that, during the Roman period, the Seine valley was a major thoroughfare located downstream from the confluence of the Seine and the Yonne. Upstream, the Yonne gradually replaced the Petite Seine as a major route across the south-east of the Paris Basin.
