A Roman street crosses the excavation. It comprises successive packed gravel layers. A covered pavement separated the buildings from the road.
Though the plan of the first buildings has not yet been found, it seems that the site was densely occupied from its earliest days. Blacksmiths' shops and houses whose walls are made of perishable materials built on stone foundations, have been found in the oldest levels.
Later buildings include houses with solid floors made of concrete containing crushed brick or pot, and a mosaic. However construction with simpler materials did not disappear.
In addition to the houses, workshops and commercial premises have also been found. There is evidence of decorative bone working and loom weights indicate that cloth was woven here.
During the 3rd century, towards the end of the occupation, two glass making kilns were installed next to the road. In this workshop finished products were obtained by remelting unfinished glass imported from workshops in the eastern Mediterranean, or from recycled glass. The presence of this workshop probably indicates the change of use of some of the buildings.

The alignment of the street and the buildings differs from that of the street layout of Burdigala. The archaeologists will try to find out why. Was it because of topographic constraints, the secondary status of the street, or was it an inheritance from the earliest constructions?
The presence of workshops and habitats in what at first sight was not an outlying urban quarter also merits further attention.
This district emerged during the reign of Augustus during a major expansion of the city. The excavation provides an opportunity to study the processes of Romanisation in Bordeaux during the Early-Empire, including the evolution of the lifestyle of its inhabitants, changes in building techniques and the sources of supplies and food.
