Le complexe de l'lsle-Jourdain : une église double ?

The author directed an excavation on the ancient and medieval site «/Mutatio Bucconis, later called "Use" in medieval times, and abandoned in the twelfth century, when the castle was transferred to Lisle- Jourdain. In the vicinity of the Roman road, two funerary areas have been found, one of which is a small Prankish cemetery. An important Christian group developed in the main funerary enclosure: a church rebuilt in the fifth or sixth century and then in the First Middle Age, and a targe building with two apses, containing a baptistery, and probably deserted in the sixth or seventh century but rebuilt as a church once in the tenth century, then in the eleventh. We still do not know if this important baptismal and pastoral center, previously unknown, was ever been used as a double church.
