AB  - Excavations carried out on a 5-hectare hillslope, in the commune of Woippy (near Metz, France), uncov-ered estate active between the 7th and 12th centuries. Finds include areas of dwellings and associated plots of land and paths. The steep hillside was developed on a low-permeability silty-clay to sandy-clay substrate. The soil horizons un-covered are linked to the small strip-shaped affected by erosion to various extents relating to topography. In addition, the excavations uncovered a complex system of drains and water-collecting ditches, which constituted a preliminary stage to the siting of the buildings and gradually organized the final shape of the plot. The water drainage management thus appears to be a key factor in the archaeological structuring of the landscape, just as to recreating drains and retention basins became necessary during the 2018 excavation to limit the impact of colluvium in the present-day village.
