Approche des groupes culturels et de leurs interactions entre Rhin et Rhône à la transition Bronze-Fer

subject

description

Cultural groups and their interactions follow from complex dynamics, delicate to grasp due to many unknown factors. However, it is still possible to define an approach to this problem with the use of elements from pre-established models, taking in consideration the different types of information offered by archaeological remains. The present analysis is part of a doctorat defended in April 2013 about cultural groups and exchanges dynamics, in a study area going from the Saône-Rhône confluence to the Mosel‘s mouth, from the 10th to the 8th centuries BC. More particularly, this work used metalwork types and deposit context as cultural indicators. The controntation of the results from the factorial analysis with geographical space permits the characterization of series of cultural groups, at the very end of Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age. In parallel, the interactions between these groups are analyzed through the « exchance flow » study, a method directly inspired by geographical.
