Abstract
After the big deforestation in the Middle Age, the forested Massif of Hortus plateau (South of France, Herault Country) was marked for five centuries (XIVe-XVIIIe) by the development and the growth of glassmaki ng works. The systematic Inventory of the place detected the presence of charcoal-kilns. According to oral inquiries, a few were in operatio n in the first half of the XXth century (i 962). However, only archaeo logical excavations will enable us to date the whole site accurately.
