Summary

Archaeological excavations at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lyon, conducted between 2002 and 2004 during the construction of Parc Saint-Georges, uncovered the largest collection of post-medieval ceramics in the city. This exceptional assemblage, discarded by residents along the Saône River, provides unprecedented insight into the evolution of everyday pottery from the 16th to the 19th century. The findings reveal shifts in ceramic production, design, and usage, reflecting broader socio-economic changes during this period. The study, led by Alban Horry of Inrap, combines detailed ceramic analysis with historical context to offer a comprehensive view of Lyon's material culture.
