National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP)
A tramway, a highway, a building, and many works that contribute to the revival of French landscapes.
Territorial developments reveal vestiges of the nation’s past and trigger an interest in the exploration and
study of archaeological heritage. At the forefront of the work is a scientific institute responsible for undertaking
preventive archaeological missions. From proactive archaeology to archaeologist working at excavation
sites, the images produced by the National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research build a portrait of
contemporary archaeology.
