Definition: Chassey le Camp is the Chasséen (middle Neolithic) type site located on the Saone river, a small farming village of between 100 and 400 people, occupied beginning about 1500 BC. Evidence for a wide range of agricultural (rye, panic grass, millet, apples, pears, prunes) and herding (sheep, goats, oxen) subsistence practices was recovered at the site. Occupations at Chassey continue through Bronze, Iron and Medieval periods, including substantial Hallstatt and la Tene period Iron Age occupations.
