Dishes, plates, jugs, cups, bowls, skyphos (a kind of cup with two handles), most of them in sigillated ceramic with a stamp on the bottom or in clear common ceramic. The figurines are made of white terracotta from the Allier. These objects come from a funerary complex dating from the 2nd century AD. At that time, the population practiced cremation "à la romaine".
