Descripción:
this project was born from the collaboration between the history and archeology society of Saint-Jean d'Angély and the town of Mazeray. The Logis-Le-Clouzeau, hidden by surrounding forests, is the site of the remains of a feudal castle, visibly demolished after the French Revolution. The discovery of the "cellars" on this plot has led to an increased interest in this site. As a part of the effort to preserve this precious token of the past, this project is the first step before archaeological excavations can begin. Some objects have already been found, highlighting traces of occupation during the high middle ages and even in gallo-roman times.
the terrain will be cleared before your arrival. During the workcamp you will clear it more thoroughly in preparation for the future archaeological work. Guided by an archaeologist and the volunteers from the history and archeology society, you will remove everything that blocks the cellars and clean the zones that will allow the opening of the archaeological site. Once the entrance of the cellars is accessible you will also clear the inside.
