Jean-Pierre Girault,
|
Jean-Pierre Girault, the archeologist who directed the recent excavations at the Loulié spring that led to its official recognition as the site of the battle of Uxellodunum, is also author of a number of books on many aspects of the archeology of the department of Lot. See PUBLICATIONS (French). For example, his 2005 publication describes the habitat of the Gauls and Gallo-Romans in the middle Dordogne valley as revealed by research in 80 communes of Lot and Corrèze. Many traces of the habitat of this period do still exist, but most would remain unknown if this inventory had not been produced by Jean-Pierre with a small group of fellow historians and archeologists. Fifteen enlightened professionals and volunteers joined in the work undertaken by Jean-Pierre Girault over a period of almost half a century. |
