As a tribute to our professor and colleague Jean-Louis Cadoux we have chosen to publish an atypical structure discovered in the sanctuary of Saint-Just-en-Chaussée in the Oise. In a natural subsidence of the ground, similar to a doline/sinkhole, an almost square pit (3 x 2,7 m) was discovered with a depth of almost 3 m. The ceramic deposit was date...
Synthèse des études de faunes réalisées sur l'oppidum du Titelberg et ses nécropoles depuis 1987 en collaboration avec J. Metzler et C. Gaeng (CNRA, Luxembourg)
Archaeozoology or zooarchaeology is the scientific field that aims to rebuild natural and cultural relations between human and animals. To reach that objective, archaeozoologists study faunal remains, such as bones. In this regard, a 3D representation is put into place. This would allow a better understanding of the initial spatial positions of the...
In Gaul, the funerary rites include quite regularly deposits of offerings. These are mainly vases, amphorae, animal bones and various metal utensils. Many of these remains are related to the consumption of beverages, wine or beer, and various animal or vegetable foods. This presentation is more particularly devoted to the sharing of meat between de...
Die rezenten Ausgrabungen haben erbracht, dass das treverische Oppidum auf dem Titelberg (Gem. Pétange, L) durch lineare Grabenstrukturen in drei Teile unterteilt war (Abb. 1). Ein 10 ha großes Gelände im Osten wird als öffentliches Zentrum gedeutet, in dem politische und religiöse Versammlungen, in Verbindung mit großen Märkten, abgehalten wurden....
In the last decades a wide range of algorithms have been devoted to recognize 3D free-from objects under real conditions such as occlusions, clutters, rotation, scale and translation. Spin image is one of these algorithms known to be robust to rotation, translation, occlusions up to 70% and clutters up to 60%, but still suffer from scaling, resolut...

48 000 (413 kg) animal bones and teeth are presented.
This study provides the main characteristics of animals and bones
deposits buried on this complex site between the 2nd century BC and
the 3rd century AD. The fauna, dominated by domestic mammals
(beef, pork and mutton) shows enough little changes during this
long sequence. These animals have bee...
The archeological excavation of the Gallic village of Acy-Romance yielded over 200,000 items of animal remains. Their analysis was performed along two dimensions, one chronological, namely the two centuries before the Christian era, and one spatial, covering the eastern part of the archeological site. Various criteria were included, such as the rel...
L’exploitation agricole révélée à Poulainville offre un intérêt remarquable du fait de l’étendue de la surface investie par les fouilles archéologiques, plus de 11 hectares, et de la longévité de l’occupation : plus de quatre siècles du IIIe siècle avant notre ère jusqu’au IIe siècle de notre ère. L’élément majeur est la coexistence, d’habitats et...

Animals were involved in many ritual practices throughout the Roman Empire, and this involvement already had deep roots in the provinces before their Romanization. The bones found during archaeological excavations inform first about the animals. In Gaul, the choice of animals fell heavily on domestic species, especially mammals. It is fairly unusua...
The islands of the Glénan archipelago and Moutons Island (Fouesnant, Finistère) have been the subject of archaeological references since the eighteenth century and inventories in the early twentieth century, in which numerous indices of human presence at the end of Prehistory are mentioned. Researches drawn by Marthe and Saint-Just Péquart in 1926-...

Cemeteries are rarely characterised by arbitrary implantations and distributions of the funerary features. The burials themselves are, in general, distinguished by instant-formation and often undamaged artefacts, deposited intentionally. As a consequence, this type of archaeological site is most suitable for quantitative and spatial analyses allowi...
A rescue excavation in 2003 resulted in the discovery of a building on piles, constructed between two sections of ditch, of which the one on the north side has an entrance. The chronological data of the building and two ditches match and demonstrate the existence of cults during La Tène C2. Evidence of the cults is given by a small quantity of deli...
"Boucherie" est un mot qui recouvre diverses notions,mais avant la création des abattoirs dans la périphérie des villes, c'est avant tout le lieu où l'on abat le bétail ; aujourd'hui, c'est une boutique de vente au détail de la viande,mais ce terme recouvre aussi le commerce de la viande ; plus rarement, il désigne l'ensemble des personnes apparten...
l'impact de la romanisation sur les pratiques rituelles n'est pas des plus faciles à résumer. Cela tient à l'ampleur et à la diversité des changements que l'on constate en Gaule à cette période, et à la difficulté, si ce n'est à l'impossibilité fondamen- tale d'établir une synthèse dans le domaine des pratiques sacrificielles, même en dehors de cet...

At the end of the Iron Age the oppidum Titelberg was the capital of the civitas of the Treverians. Recent excavations indicate the presence of Italian merchants, who operated a trading centre of supra-regional importance here. The numerous militaria prove a strong connection to the Roman military. In my subproject, the trade relations between the Mediterranean area and Gallia Belgica are investigated on the basis of the amphorae.
