Source des Roches, Archaeological site in Chamalières, France
The Source des Roches features an open-air sanctuary with mineral springs located at the intersection of Avenue Jean-Jaurès and Rue de Clora.
Archaeological excavations between 1968 and 1971 revealed thousands of wooden votive offerings dating from the first half of the first century CE.
The site contains a lead tablet with Gaulish inscription using Latin cursive script, invoking the deity Maponos through ancient religious practices.
The archaeological artifacts from Source des Roches are displayed at the Bargoin Museum in Clermont-Ferrand for public viewing and research.
Pollen analysis revealed an unusually high concentration of oak trees in the area, suggesting the presence of a sacred grove during Roman times.
