Une fortification inédite de la résidence princière de Vix

Within the framework of a palaeoenvironmental study of the princely site of Vix, a trench was excavated at the foot of the eastern slope of the mont Lassois. This trench allowed to unearth a new fortification of the Hallstattian defensive system. The geophysical surveys showed that a segment of the eastern slope is lined with this new fortification. The second significant discovery was the presence of a new settlement in this area of the hill. Some data point out a possi-ble craft production area dated in the Hallstatt D2/D3. This data set noticeably modifies our view of the spatial organi-sation of the princely site of Vix
