Backgound information:

Located near the commercial area of Chêne Saint-Amand, the archaeological site of Crassées consists of a necropolis and a Gallo-Roman villa. The site was accidentally discovered in 1856 by two ironmasters. In fact, the two men spotted a small room paved with bricks and also collected coins, objects made of bone and fragments of several rocks. The first excavations were undertaken in 1902, by Dr. Chaussinaud, director of the asylum of the insane Saint-Dizier and enthusiast of Gallo-Roman archeology. It is during these excavations of exploration that the presence of the villa is detected.
