From the Gaul's house to the peasant's loge

Archaeologist Olivier Buchsenschutz is carrying out an investigation of the construction techniques of the houses of the Gauls, which were built out of pieces of wood attached to a number of poles driven into the ground. To understand the function and purpose of these structures, he looks for parallel elements in peasant loges, a kind of barn constructed along similar lines. The work of a German soldier who was also an archeologist, stationed in Anjou during World War Two, describing the construction of a loge, enabled him to reconstruct one for the exhibition at Moulins Céphons.
