Expositions et dépôts d’armes et de têtes coupées au Cailar (Gard)

Severed heads and weapons were both exhibited in Le Cailar (southern France), in the Celtic Mediterranean area. This iron age settlement has revealed a considerable number of examples of this practice, known for many years thanks to literary sources and archaeological data. This place was a laguna harbor connected with the Rhone delta and was deeply involved in the Mediterranean trade. The pieces of human bones and metal artifacts were found near the fortification, displayed on a large open area. Here we present all the different kind of remains: ceramics and fauna, coins, weapons and other pieces of metal, human bones.
