operations in 2011. The Sainte-Anne property is located on the eastern point of the Île. Its restoration included the repair of all the
exterior coatings, as well as diverse exterior and interior modifications, thus requiring a preventive excavation associating a study of the
built structures and supervision of the construction work. In this context, one of the trenches yielded a Final Bronze Age occupation
level. The latter, already suspected during the test phase (Vicard et alii, 2011 ; Gaillard et alii, 2012), was this time characterized
by the presence of diverse features (ovens, rubified sediments, postholes, thin sediment layers, etc.) associated with well-preserved metal
and ceramic artifacts. Two small manually dug test-pits show that the Protohistoric level is more than one meter deep (the bedrock has
not been reached), and that the level dated to the Final Bronze Age overlies an equivalent level that yielded artifacts attributed to the Final Neolithic. At the bottom of the latter, a new sedimentary unit yielded ceramic artifacts typical of the Middle Neolithic. Though
the interpretation of these unexpected discoveries is still incomplete, the latter make this site exceptional in terms of its configuration
and preservation conditions, until now rarely encountered in the Lyon region.
