La nécropole de Vannes/Darioritum : données inédites sur les pratiques funéraires armoricaines dans un secteur occupé du ier au ive s. apr. J.-C. by Annaïg Le Martret, Marie Grall, Vanessa Brunet

“…The tombs of older subjects, which yielded accompanying furnishings, come from a period between the last quarter of the 3rd and the 4th century AD, but the cross-referencing of a burial without accompanying items with a secondary cremation deposit in an ossuary vase makes it possible to establish that this funerary practice may have occurred before the middle of the 2nd century AD. The material deposited in the later burials consists of one or two objects: one vase, two vases or one vase and a pearl necklace in one case, and the distinctive aspect of this practice lies, as in the High Empire, in the significant representation of glass vases.The spatial organisation of the burial complex does not reveal any alignment effects, but the deposits seem to have been preferentially buried in the peripheral areas, on the edge of the break in the slope that delimits the former quarry. …”
