To the south of this area, a further room was added and was found to contain ceramic pitchers and stone mortars, suggesting a kitchen. The architecture and impressive fireplace would have set this residence apart from the modest Burgundian habitations present in the High Middle Ages.

The archaeological artefacts that were recovered seem to corroborate this impression of wealth. Items such as a gilt bronze belt buckle, a riding spur, an anthropomorphic spoon handle and numerous coins, some bearing the effigy of Eudes IV, Duke of Burgundy (1315-1349), confirm the social status of the occupants. A seal matrix, bearing the profile of an individual surrounded by three clasps, and that of a monetary weight, show that this residence was also a place of business, or even local power.
