Burned Gallic wall under a Paris hospital courtyard strengthens the case for Lutetia on the Île de la Cité

Carbon-14 on the wall's timbers returns 200 to 10 B.C.E., a window wide enough to hold the 52 B.C.E. burning Caesar described and much else besides, and the officials quoted say function and chronology still need verifying.
