  2. Title: Accurately Located Masonry Wall Remains: Paris, 950-1797

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile contains locations of masonry wall remains in Paris based on archaeological references. These remains have been precisely located using a plan contained in the archaeological literature. Each point has been georeferenced to cadastral data provided by the Paris Urban Planning Agency (APUR). The work of gathering the archaeological information was directed by Etienne Lardkhan. (Univ. Paris-1, ed. D. Aina-Deroin and H. Noizet, 2007-2008). This layer can be used to locate potential sites of wall remains in Paris. APUR © ALPAGE: E. Lallau, 2010.
