The archaeological salvage operation on the site of Neuilly-enThelle enabled a remarkable collection of metal objects to be dug up (180 from the 14th century and 68 from the 17th century). The complete find gives us a very realistic image of the economic activities that went on in these rural establishments. It also gives us information about aspects of everyday life in the 14th century and, owing to the presence of different domestic usetnsil, sheds light on the economic and space organisation of a mediaeval farm.
The construction of new building in the 17th century, with the presence of modern furniture, provides information particularly on how economic activities were readapted to a space organisation different from that of the 14th century.
The presence of many items relating to farming, construction, and locks mithing and of domestic and clothing equipment, has also enabled us to identify certain technical changes that took place between the 14th and 17th century on the site.
