ABSTRACT Since 1994, archaeological supervision of a gravel quarry located on the middle terrace of the River Yonne at Soucy (Yonne), in the north of Burgundy, has permitted the discovery of several prehistoric sites included in middle Pleistocene sequences. The first geomorphological and palaeontological studies show that prehistoric occupation took place in a middle Pleistocene interglacial stage cautiously attributed to the Holsteinian. Among the five sites discovered, the first one (Soucy 1) was excavated in 1995. Test trenches have been dug at two other sites (Soucy 2 and 4), not threatened at present. The last two sites (Soucy 3 et 5) will be excavated during 1996.
