A hunting thicket in Roissy-en-France (France)
Excavations at Roissy-en-France revealed an intriguing concentration of archaeological features relating to the history of the landscape. Forty-six ditches and 150 small sunken features covered a concentrated rectangular surface of approximately one acre. A detailed explanation of these remains has been obtained by a close examination of plantation types described in old agricultural manuals. The combination of vine, copse, meadow and watering place constitutes a small Modern-period hunting thicket (sixteenthth-eighteenth century). Some indication of the animal species hunted has come from archaeological research carried out on a nearby farm dwelling and on the stately home at Roissy. Hunting in the Île-de-France region during the Modern period was a source of considerable tension which focussed on thickets, perceived by farmers as being harmful.
