Cet ouvrage, fruit d’un travail documentaire exhaustif, propose un inventaire détaillé, normalisé et critique, servi par une riche iconographie, des ensembles funéraires de la région des Grands Causses datant du Bronze final II jusqu’au Ve s. av. J-C. II réunit les données éparses des fouilles effectuées depuis le XIXe s., présentant un corpus de 240 gisements funéraires dont le mobilier anthropologique, faunique et archéologique encore existant a été entièrement réétudié. Une importance particulière est accordée aux défunts eux-mêmes. De l’analyse des pratiques funéraires d’un monde sans écriture émerge, grâce aux hypothèses suggérées par les comparaisons historiques et ethnologiques, le reflet de structures et de hiérarchies sociales, mais aussi de représentations collectives de la mort et de l’au-delà. This richly illustrated monograph the result of exhaustive documentary research, offers a detailed and standardised critical inventory of Late Bronze Age to fifth century BC funerary assemblages discovered in the Grands Gausses region of France. The work brings together data from excavations carried out since the nineteenth century, presenting a corpus of 240 funerary deposits whose surviving anthropological, faunal and archaeological finds have been completely re-examined. Particular attention is given to the human remains. Seen in relation to hypotheses suggested by historical and ethnological comparisons, this study of funerary practices in the pre-literate world provides insights into organisational structures and social hierarchies, shedding new light on collective notions of death and the after-life.
