This album contains 350 archive materials produced during the excavations carried out at Alise-Sainte-Reine, in the Côte d'Or region. This front page, which is signed by Félicien de Saulcy, president of the Commission de Topographie des Gaules, is proof that the first phase of excavations (from April 1861 to September 1862) was carried out by the Commission de Topographie des Gaules. The album was given to the musée gallo-romain soon after its opening.
