Découverte sur le territoire de la commune de Pont-à-Celles en province de Hainaut (Belgique), la nécropole mérovingienne de Viesville a bénéficié en 2005 et 2006 d’une fouille intégrale menée par l’Agence wallonne du Patrimoine, avec le concours du CReA-Patrimoine de l’Université libre de Bruxelles et de l’asbl Recherches et Prospections archéologiques. L’opération archéologique préventive conduite sur ce site a révélé cent quarante-cinq sépultures datées entre le dernier quart du ve et les premières années du viie siècle. Implantée non loin de la voie Bavay-Cologne et de l’ancienne agglomération romaine de Liberchies, elle succède de toute évidence à une nécropole romaine dont subsistent deux tombes à incinération datées du iiie siècle. Les défunts, inhumés dans un cercueil en bois, sont accompagnés d’un mobilier abondant et varié : accessoires vestimentaires, bijoux, armes, ustensiles et outils du quotidien, récipients en verre ou en céramique. Toutes ces découvertes ont bénéficié d’une recherche approfondie menée avec le concours de pas moins de treize chercheurs spécialisés dans la période concernée. Cette approche pluridisciplinaire offre un nouveau regard sur la richesse des échanges, plus particulièrement au vie siècle, entre la communauté installée à Viesville et son environnement proche d’une part, mais également avec des régions plus éloignées comme le pourtour de la mer Baltique, le Proche-Orient, la Mésopotamie et l’Inde. Mise en perspective dans son contexte historique et archéologique régional, la nécropole de Viesville constitue un nouveau jalon dans la connaissance de l’occupation alto-médiévale en Wallonie.

In 1969-1970 large-scale excavations took place at the Vrijthof Square in the ancient town of Maastricht. Maastricht is the central place par excellence in the Middle Meuse valley, which in its turn shows early signs of recovery after the collapse of the Roman state. It is the cradle of the Carolingian dynasty. The Vrijthof excavations contribute in an important way to the understanding of Maastricht as an early town. The complicated stratigraphy of the site is discussed in relation to the history of what has always remained an open space in the town. Of crucial importance was the construction of the Roman highway from Cologne to northern France. It crosses the Meuse River at Maastricht and passes along the northern limits of the Vrijthof site. A small vicus developed along the road in the second century. The site was however abandoned in late Roman times. Early in the sixth century the site of the vicus was used as a burial ground. The open space was inhabited shortly in the late seventh and early eighth century after which the site was abandoned. In a strip along the Roman road burial continued into Carolingian times. To our great surprise nothing else from the Carolingian period could be recorded although the site is located directly east of the new Carolingian basilica. Carolingian Maastricht remains archaeologically hardly visible, an enigmatic site. This observation must have great consequences for our understanding of early medieval towns in the Meuse valley. Much attention has been paid in the book to the Merovingian burials, the objects found in the graves and the peculiarities of this cemetery which sets it apart from rural cemeteries as well as the Saint-Servatius cemetery on the hill immediately to the west of the Vrijthof.
