Nécropoles multipolaires et élaboration d’un nouveau modèle socio-politique au premier âge du Fer : réflexions à partir des sites du Camp de l’Église Sud à Flaujac-Poujols (Lot) et... by Antoine Dumas

“…Firstly, it demonstrated that on a largescale, an initial period of occupation (800-725 BC) was characterized by a marked increase in the number of burials being installed, followed by a second period (725-550 BC) marked by a reversal of this tendency. We can therefore conclude, that the number of people important enough to access the necropolis varied through time, with a second much more selective period than the previous one. …”
