Les trois tombes du premier âge du Fer de Gallière à Montpellier (Hérault)
Abstracts
Three Early Iron Age Tombs from Gallière, Montpellier (Hérault).Three secondary deposits of cremation graves of the VIIth century BC excavated in Gallière contribute to fill the lack of knowledge about the funeral practices of the first Iron age in the costal area of the eastern Languedoc. These graves are composed by three elements : a funeral deposit in a shallow burial pit and an annex deposit on the paleo soil that could suggest a mound covering all of it.
The burnt bones which represent one personn are deposed higgledy-piggledy in the burial pit accompanied with a very reduced number of personnal items or incomplete wares. Here the funeral pratices are similar than those suggested, at the same time, by the cremation mounds of the scrublands of the hinterland.
