General description:
the date of the pump relies on the dates of finds from the well. The well was dug-first half of the 1st c. A.D.
the well was very close to the kitchen of the domus and could have been connected to them by a set of pipes. (to raise water)
the pump was dumped ( jeteé) into the well, however evidence suggests that the pump was found in its operating position (Stein 2014)
the Périgueux pump show many feautures which indicate an innovative approach, which adapts the generic design to make the pump more robust, easier to manufacture, to instal and repair.
