An ancient garbage dump in France presented archaeologists with interesting artifacts.

In the west of France, a group of archaeologists Inrap (Institut d'études nationales archéologiques preventives), is engaged in excavations in Rennes, in connection with the planned construction. The huge excavation area occupies 3250 m2, it is a quarry with a depth of more than 2 meters.

A group of specialists came across an ancient quarry, which was probably located in the territory of the Gallic tribes, which is a rare find for France.

In the 1st century AD, the Romans mined Briover schist in a quarry and used it to build the city of Kondate. In fact, the territory of the quarry was used as a garbage dump for the entire 2 centuries. So the excavations pleased the scientists with many different, different-age artifacts.

Also, in the accumulated layers of soil, archaeologists discovered a considerable amount of remains of ceramic dishes, coins, several statuettes, remains of ornaments (fibulae).

Large-scale excavations provide an opportunity to learn more about the organization and development of the ancient Gallo-Roman stone quarry, mining methods and tools, and reveal important knowledge about the impact of stone on the city's economy.
