L’établissement de hauteur du Malpas à Soyons (Ardèche) durant l’Antiquité tardive (IVe – VIe s.). [en ligne] https://www.persee.fr/doc/ran_0557-7705_2013_num_46_1_1883

Investigations have started again on the hillfort of Malpas at Soyons (Ardèche) in February 2013. Two trenches have revealed four different occupation stages corresponding to Late Bronze Age, Late Hallstatt, La Tene D and Late Antiquity. Middle-aged occupations can’t be observed by stratigraphy. Studies of artefacts have revealed two different occupation stages for Late Antiquity. The first one is characterized by a backfill layer dated from the first half of 5th century, and the second one by the filling of hollow structures dated from the first half of 6th century. Compared to the former discoveries, these well preserved remains provide some stimulating researches that we present here.
