    600 years BC
    The Celtic house was reconstructed in Samara in 2020 and was born from excavations carried out at the site “La Valéette” in Méaulte.
    For Hauts-de-France, this is one of the first discoveries related to a model of palisaded settlements specific to the First Iron Age in a broad sense (a period ranging from the 9th to the 5th century BC).
    The excavated structures are almost exclusively postholes and reveal a circular building (presumably a dwelling), attics or outbuildings and a palisade which could have been a monumental entrance.
    Curiously, the circular architecture of this early Iron Age house is particularly close to the norms of Normandy, Charente-Maritime, southern England and Champagne, indicating a movement of cultural standardization in these regions at the time.
