After completing a Doctorate thesis on Gallic, Gallo-Roman and early medieval rotary querns and millstones, I study the stone objects discovered during archaeological excavations as a member of the UMR 8164 - Halma (University of Lille). This type of stone implements, resulting from local acquisition or complex distribution networks, is the object of renewed attention in France and more widely in Western Europe where preventive archaeology is dynamic and renews the study issues.
