%X D¨¦couvert en 2007, lors du diagnostic arch¨¦ologique du projet de d¨¦viation de la RD766 de Chateau-la-Valli¨¨re (Indre-et-Loire), l¡¯¨¦tablissement rural de La Tesserie (commune de Couesmes) a fait l¡¯objet d¡¯une fouille pr¨¦ventive par le Service de l¡¯Arch¨¦ologie du d¨¦partement d¡¯Indre-et-Loire (SADIL), sous la direction scientifique de B¨¦n¨¦dicte Quilliec, responsable d¡¯op¨¦ration durant l¡¯hiver 2008-2009. Il s¡¯agit d¡¯un habitat de La T¨¨ne finale, organis¨¦ autour d¡¯un enclos fossoy¨¦ quadrangulaire d¡¯environ 60 m de c t¨¦ et comprenant une douzaine de batiments de tailles et de fonctions diff¨¦rentes. Les connaissances sur ce type d¡¯occupation sont encore lacunaires dans le d¨¦partement car elles sont soumises aux contraintes habituelles de l¡¯arch¨¦ologie pr¨¦ventive. Dans ces conditions, l¡¯apport de la fouille de Couesmes est important car d¡¯une part, toute la surface de l¡¯¨¦tablissement a ¨¦t¨¦ fouill¨¦e et la plupart des structures ont ¨¦t¨¦ fouill¨¦es int¨¦gralement et car, d¡¯autre part, tout le mobilier a ¨¦t¨¦ ¨¦tudi¨¦. Par ailleurs, certains aspects du site pr¨¦sentent un caract¨¨re suffisamment original pour contribuer ¨¤ la caract¨¦risation de l¡¯habitat rural dans le centre de la Gaule ¨¤ La T¨¨ne finale (architecture, d¨¦p ts d¡¯objets). The La Tesserie site (Couesmes, Indre-et-Loire) was found during an archaeological evaluation in 2007. This site is a rural dwelling located on 2.5 ha on the route of a future departmental road (RD766, Chateau-la-Valli¨¨re). Excavations were carried out during the winter 2008-2009 by Indre-et-Loire¡¯s Departmental Archaeological Service (SADIL), managed by B¨¦n¨¦dicte Quilliec. The settlement from the end of La T¨¨ne is organized around a quadrangular ditch (about 60 m side) with different kinds of constructions (structures, functions, sizes)Knowledge of this kind of site is still lacking because it depends directly on the archaeological survey as in the remainder of the Indre-et-Loire department. Therefore the excavation of La Tesserie was a great opportunity because the entire surface covered by the settlement was excavated providing useful information. In the light of the new data resulting from the study of several assemblies coming from varied structures, it is possible to better define the architectural constructions and identify the ceramic, bronze and iron furnishings and also animal bones and seeds. In addition this study enabled comparison to be made with various similar sites in the north of France.
