Armes et têtes coupées au Cailar (Gard) : premiers éléments de réflexion sur un dépôt rituel en Gaule méditerranéenne
Since 2003, an important deposit of arms and severed heads has been under excavation at Le Cailar, a protohistoric port of trade in eastern Languedoc, in Mediterranean Gaul. This deposit, dated to the 3rd century BC, consists of many skeletal remains and a great quantity of metal objects, mostly weapons. The study of these remains will teach us a lot about protohistoric ritual practices.
