Research assessment
statement
Construction at La Motte was partly designed to stabilize or manage a dynamic river-lagoon edge used by the settlement.chronology test
Structures should align stratigraphically with occupied surfaces and palaeogeographic phases rather than representing a single later intrusion.geography test
Features should cluster along reconstructed bank edges and activity zones, not form an inland defensive circuit.supporting evidence
Multidisciplinary stratigraphy, wood structures and palaeogeography support a managed bank setting.Evidence and sources
