French term or phrase: suivi d’un habitat normand,
I just want to check the sense of "suivi de" here (in this context). The text is giving background to the area of Segesta in Sicily, detailing its Greek history such as its buildings and former populations etc.

On a longtemps cru que Ségeste fut abandonnée suite aux attaques des Vandales, mais des études récentes ont révélés un village d’époque musulmane (VIII°) suivi d’un habitat normand, dominé par un château au sommet du Mont Barbaro.

followed by a Norman settlement
Explanation:
I am sure that the sense of "suivi de" is the obvious chronological one, referring not to order of the discovery but to the historical sequence revealed by the archaeological record. This evidently shows that there was an 8th-century Muslim village and then later a Norman settlement. This fits, because the Normans conquered Sicily between 1061 and 1091, ousting the Saracens:
