Reinterpreting the archeological site at Bruyères-sur-Oise leads to an adjustment of our initial suggestion on the organisation of the ancient vineyard. The equidistance between plantation pits, the spacing between their lines, the various layering techniques used will help towards a new assessment of the vineyard evolution. A new approach to chronological data reveals that this vineyard was created at the earliest in the middle of the first century A.D. The reasons for the choice of a damp ground depression for its site are being explored in the light of the reveland texts of roman agronomists. Lastly, comparisons are made with other Picardy sites in Gallia Belgica.
