La fouille récente de quatre caves antiques en Haute-Normandie ofre l'opportunité d'une approche conjointe et comparative de ces pièces enterrées. À travers leur variété architecturale ainsi que leurs diférents emplacements, ces caves livrent bon nombre d'informations sur les choix des commanditaires comme des constructeurs. Au-delà, c'est bien évidemment la question de leurs fonctions qui peut être approchée, même si celles-ci restent diiciles à préciser, faute d'indices. Leurs comblements s'avèrent également souvent précieux pour la caractérisation des occupations qui leur sont associées. abstract: he recent excavation of four Roman cellars in Upper Normandy has provided the opportunity of a combined and comparative study of the structures. hrough the diversity of their architecture and their diferent locations, the cellars provide information on the choices made by the owners as well as by the builders. Also, the question of their use will also be broached even if there is little evidence. heir ill has proved to be informative as to the characterisation of the settlements to with they are associated.

After ten years of development in the south of the Eure, preparatory works of archaeology hâve resulted in the constitution of a documentation collected in relatively homogenous conditions over almost 300 hectares (500 by the end of 2001). The areas concemed are located at random within a chosen study zone, for analysis of land occupation, because of its geographical and topographical cohérence. The representativity of data produced by this documentation is a known parameter. Thus, they come increasingly to constitute an objective sample illustrating the archaeological potential of their acquisition area. Such a sample provides a first interprétation of the data on the archaeological map. As far as the plateau of Saint- André-de-1' Eure is concemed, the number of sites recorded goes over one thousand, half of which resuit from aerial research. The exploitation of this mass of information concerns ail the protohistorical and historical eras. Indeed, a reasoned and quantified survey of the importance of the sites of the second Iron Age and Early Empire cannot be envisaged without taking into account the continuities and discordances preceding and following the era in question. This case study leads to surprising results at first sight, the most outstanding being the extremely late évolution of the development of territory concemed. The intégration of the results of study into a reflexion on wider geographical areas provides a first explanation. The acceptable hypothesis of a very late rise of the rural exploitation of the plateau is after ail quite simple. The whole area was very scarcely occupied before the foundation and the development of the city of Evreux. The development of the urban centre together with the rural sites could therefore be accounted for almost exclusively by the satisfaction of the needs of the local urban market. As to the implantation of Evreux, it could simply be resuit of the administrative and économie organization on a large scale, subséquent to the Augustan reforms'1'.
