Essai sur le développement topographique de la nécropole protohistorique de Pézenas (Hérault)

Abstract

The protohistoric necropolis of Pezenas, explored from 1963 to 1970, has so far only given rise to a few partial publications about one category of furniture or other without any comprehensive study of this outstanding site. A close scruting of the various tomb contents, earthenware and metallic furniture, highlights four stages in the topographic development of the necropolis. Thanks to the Greek and Etruscan earthenware which is widely represented in the tombs, these four stages can be accuretely dated, ranging from the late 7th to the early 5th century. The exhaustive study of the funeral sets, stage after stage, enables us to date the changes in the funeral rites during the early Iron Age and throws a new light on the transformation within the local population resulting from the increasing contacts with Mediterranean sailors whether Greek or Etruscan.
