Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Absolute Thellier–Thellier archaeointensity determinations were conducted on 137 tiles and sedimentary blocks from five different structures from the ‘Site de la Molère’, southern France, to constrain the archaeological interpretation of a relative age difference between structures and add new data to the French secular variation database. We present 89 new archaeointensity and 20 new directional results, with averages of 57 (±8) μT in the second century <jats:sc>ad</jats:sc> and 68 (±7) μT in the third century <jats:sc>ad</jats:sc>. The overall data trend is consistent with the limited available data, indicating rapidly increasing field intensity from the second to the third century <jats:sc>ad</jats:sc>.</jats:p>
