In 2021, a first archaeological intervention took place with the realization of two surveys on both sides of the church of Saint-Pierre in Lion-sur-Mer (Calvados). Eighteen graves had been identified. A second intervention began on Monday, June 13, until Friday, July 8, 2022. The team will present the results of this search campaign. This interdisciplinary project was started in 2020, with the support of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC), the Centre for Archaeological and Historical Ancient and Medieval Research (Craham, University of Caen Normandy/CNRS), Éveha (Archaeological Design and Valuation Office) and the Lion-sur-Mer Town Hall.
