Résumé : The preventive archaeological excavation of a Roman rural settlement carried on the “Les Jardins” site at La Croix-Saint-Ouen (Hauts-de-France, Oise) led to discovery in context of a kit mainly of tools. Within this unique assemblage, 24 pieces (adze, plane, chisels, bits…) illustrate different trades and activities related to woodworking at the end of the 3rd / beginning of the 4th century. Their presentation gives the opportunity to put different themes into perspective: vocabulary used by the archaeologist; linkage to different stages of woodworking and to a trade; immuability of tool shapes and associated gestures; comparisons and suggestions of the meaning of the assembly.
