pierres organisées en calage packing stones Explanation: As the image caption relates to an excavation rather than a standing building, I would suggest that « pierres organisées en calage » probably refers to packing stones within a posthole or postholes. In the context of a settlement, these would be the stones packed around the base of wooden posts to support the structure of a building.
