La sépulture campaniforme d'enfant de la grotte Murée (Montagnac-Montpezat, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
Chronologie et périodisation des campaniformes en France méditerranéenne
What is the current state of research, twenty years after the Ambérieu-en-Bugey colloquium, regarding the chronological setitng of the Bell Beaker horizon, the periodisation of pottery styles and the relationships between Bell Beakers and local groups in the late Neolithic in Mediterranean France ? A brief inventory of knowledge from 1992 together with research from the last two decades will allow us to re-evaluate stratigraphic evidence and radiocarbon dates and to examine the evolution of sttlement distribution and the artefact contexts and associations
Composantes culturelles et Premières productions céramiques du Bronze ancien dans le sud-est de la France
The collective research project "Cultural components of the first pottery productions of the Early Bronze Age in Southeast France" derives from renewal of documentation on the Early Bronze Age in the southeast Rhodanian region and new approaches to the Bell Beaker period, particularly in the southern part of Southeast France. In 1998, the Riva del Garda conference constituted a high point in Bell Beaker research at a European scale, of which the consequences and questions motivated the collective project for an overview of the transition from the end of the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in a large southeastern quarter of France. In these regions, issues relating to the future of Bell Be…

Le Vignaud 3, Chemin du Puits Neuf (Langlade, Gard) : du Fontbouisse au Campaniforme : premiers résultats
Excavations at the site of Le Vignaud 3, Langlade, situated at the heart of the Vaunage, have revealed a settlement constructed in dry stone which fits perfectly within the local Fontbouisse tradition (as exemplified at Boussargues, Le Rocher-du-Causse, etc.). As well as being of architectural interest, particularly in relation to the internal organisation of enclosed sites, the site also produced a large number of finds (pottery, lithics, animal bones, etc.) which provide evidence of Fontbouisse culture and Bell Beaker occupation. The stratigraphic evidence relating these two cultures, and the results of the preliminary analysis of the finds, provide new evidence concerning the adoption of…

2500 avant notre ère : l’implantation campaniforme en France méditerranéenne
Around 2 500 BC, drinking beakers with a characteristic pattern appeared in diverse areas of Europe. They are frequently associated with other kinds of materials, like specific ornaments and weapons. This set defines what is called the Bell Beaker phenomenon. In Southern France, more than 600 sites are known. In this very rich European study area, it is possible to study the nature and origin of this phenomenon, and question its poten-tial exogenous components, its modes of establishment and development, and its rela-tionship with local groups that had already settled in the South of France. Consequently, a layout similar to the Greek colonization model of the Mediterranean coast is proposed
