A human femur gave a radiocarbon date of the third to sixth century and a few ceramics gave Iron Age TL dates, so some older use of the valley is possible⁠[[1]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDJ8461BM1/resume-des-recherches-effectuees-a-glozel-entre-1983-et-1990)⁠[[2]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDK60WJEK6/the-scientific-analyses-of-glozel). ## Answers 2 [**A medieval and later glassworks** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/glozel/answers/ANS0DEE975N6GRZ/a-medieval-and-later-glassworks) Evidence for it, no test yet Evidence: 1 for Still possible [**An Iron Age or Gallo-Roman burial or cult place** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/glozel/answers/ANS0DEE97JQPCV7/an-iron-age-or-gallo-roman-burial-or-cult-place) Evidence for it, no test yet Evidence: 1 for, 1 against Still possible ## History 1. 1995[Jean-Pierre Daugas et al.: every 1983 state trench inside the site produced vitrified material, crucible fragments and glass, and the two…](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDJ8461BM1/resume-des-recherches-effectuees-a-glozel-entre-1983-et-1990)For: A medieval and later glassworks 1. 1995[Jean-Pierre Daugas et al.: the 1983 controlled trenches found no Iron Age or Gallo-Roman layer in the field.](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDJ8461BM1/resume-des-recherches-effectuees-a-glozel-entre-1983-et-1990)Against: An Iron Age or Gallo-Roman burial or cult place 1. 1995[Jean-Pierre Daugas et al.: a human femur (AD 245 to 590), an ox tooth from an urn (AD 30 to 230) and several ceramics with Iron Age TL dates…](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDJ8461BM1/resume-des-recherches-effectuees-a-glozel-entre-1983-et-1990)For: An Iron Age or Gallo-Roman burial or cult place 1. 2004[Alice Gerard et al.: every 1983 state trench inside the site produced vitrified material, crucible fragments and glass, and the two…](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDK60WJEK6/the-scientific-analyses-of-glozel)For: A medieval and later glassworks 1. 2004[Alice Gerard et al.: a human femur (AD 245 to 590), an ox tooth from an urn (AD 30 to 230) and several ceramics with Iron Age TL dates…](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0DEDK60WJEK6/the-scientific-analyses-of-glozel)For: An Iron Age or Gallo-Roman burial or cult place 1.
