00:00:00,659 --> 00:00:06,279
The restoration work is overseen by an archeologist who is here every time

2
00:00:06,279 --> 00:00:09,990
we replace, intervene, or dismantle something,

3
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:14,379
and he has made some very interesting discoveries.

4
00:00:14,379 --> 00:00:20,999
This is Roman ceramics, I believe it's a small handle of an oil lamp;

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,480
with a little varnish, a little slip on it, which may be from the second century.

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,640
So that attests to the fact that people came here

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,180
to the very top of the edifice, and sat down here

8
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:35,920
perhaps to watch the shows,

9
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:38,610
and maybe even at night, since it's an oil lamp,

10
00:00:38,610 --> 00:00:41,120
which is only used at night. Let's see if there's anything else.

11
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:52,560
A piece of a wrought iron nail, it's rather old, I think.

12
00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:56,460
Some unvarnished ceramics, and a small billon coin

13
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:00,899
probably from the Comtat Venaissin.
We can clearly see the big cross.

14
00:01:00,899 --> 00:01:04,839
That's the life of the edifice.
Then in terms of the construction project

15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,160
there are still the same traces.
Still the double dovetail,

16
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,480
but the wood has disappeared.

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,020
Wood breaks down over time.

18
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:17,550
And thus we can suppose that it was basically for the construction

19
00:01:17,550 --> 00:01:21,190
to place the blocks on top of each other,
and to avoid when a block that weighs several tons is pushed

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,470
that the lower block which is perhaps lighter

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,220
slips and that that's the block which moves instead of the bigger one.
