The La Tene Iron Age Culture of northern Champagne, France, has hitherto been known almost exclusively from cemeteries there being at least i18 reported for the La Tene Ia phase alone with hardly anything known from habitations. This state of research inevitably gives a distorted picture of Marnian life and has severely limited the kinds of inferences that could be made, including the testing of hypotheses concerning Marnian migrations. A Marnian village site has been revealed at Chassemy (Aisne) 'Le Saule Baillot' as a consequence of sandpit exploitation. Because of the immediate danger to some house remains by these operations, the authors, under the supervision of Circumscription Director Professor Ernest Will, excavated the house described here, and the junior author tested some others during the summer of 1964. This research, conducted under the auspices of the American School of Prehistoric Research, was supported by grants from the US National Academy of Science and the Department of Anthropology and Peabody Museum of Harvard University. This site is located I2 km. east of Soissons (Aisne) in the commune of Chassemy and is only 0o5 km. from the long-known cemetery of Chassemy 'La Fosse Chapelet' (fig. 27) containing burials dating from Hallstatt IIb through La Tene II (Calland 1869; Fleury I877; Moreau i888; Hubert i9o2; Piette I925) including a chariot burial, still incompletely published, said to date from La Tene Ia (Bretz-Mahler and Joffroy 1959: 29). Both 'Le Saule Baillot' and 'La Fosse Chapelet' lie in beds of the Vesle River just before it flows into the Aisne. The houses at 'Le Saule Baillot' had been silted over by the Vesle, and then were preserved more or less intact. Before sandpit operations the place had been protected by forest, but there had been some disturbance of the village area by recent military entrenchments, probably made during World War I. Other occupational remains were found between 'Le Saule Baillot' and the cemetery. As in the Marne, no evidence for fortifications was detected
