Show more >The area of Artois where Avesnes-lès-Bapaume is located, on the border of the department of the Somme, was the scene of several conflicts during the contemporary period, from the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 to the Second World War. The archaeological operation, in 2016 and 2017, along Albert road, a former Roman road, was an opportunity to expose a former battlefield of the First World War on an archaeological site containing the remains of Protohistory and Roman periods. Although the archaeology of the First World War has developed since the 1990s, it still remains an archaeological opportunity in anticipation of a comprehensive methodological approach of the French territory.Show less >
