Archeology of Brive and the region
|
|
- 4 - Jean Bouyssonie room:
Prehistory - 5 - Gerhardt Green de
Saint-Marsault room: - 6 - Cardinal Dubois room: |
| Prehistory Jean Bouyssonie room This room exhibits a reconstruction of prehistoric man's occupancy in the Brive basin. Certainly worth a detour for the eponymous sites and the Neanderthal Man from Chapelle aux Saints. |
|
| Gallo-roman Michel Labrousse room The Gallo-Roman vestiges exhibited in the Michel Labrousse room were discovered in Brive, which was, from the 1st to the 3rd century, a centre for potters (moulds, etc.). |

The Middle Ages The Gerhart Green de Saint-Marsault rooms displays a collection of objects and architectural vestiges that recall Brive and the region during the Middle Ages. You must not miss the funerary stele from the 13th century on which figures a text and a bombarde (ancestor of the cannon). |
| The excavations at the church of Saint Sernin Cardinal Dubois room This very rich archaeological site has notably revealed the existence of an encaristic dove dating back to the 11th century, the oldest to have been kept in Europe and the sepulture of Saint Jacques from Compostelle and Rome from the 17th century. |
