Fossilized Bronze, Invisible Bronze
2023
The systematic field surveys carried out since the beginning of the 2000s around the fortified site of the Camp du Château at Salins-les-Bains (Jura, France) have led to the discovery of 74 Bronze Age hoards, a density rarely observed in France. Dating from the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age to the Late Bronze Age, this dataset is unique as it provides detailed information on the composition of the hoards and their distribution within a defined territorial and chronological framework.These hoards are mainly made up of fragments, as around 90% of the objects are broken. This is deliberate and seems to correspond to a codified ritual of destruction which could be related to the notion of …

The Walking Dead: Cross-Channel connections and Funerary Practices c. 1600-1200 BC
2018
Session XXXII-4. Cross-channel connections from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age; International audience; The Middle /early Late Bronze Age (c. 1600-1200 BC) in the cross-channel region is invariably understood through the many close connections evidenced by new metal technologies and object types. These relationships tend to be interpreted as either continuities or developments from Early Bronze Age (c. 2200-1600 BC) cross-channel communities. However, whilst scholarship on the cross-channel connections between Early Bronze Age communities has tended to focus on funerary practices, there been no recent or comparable re-evaluation of cross-channel Middle /Late Bronze Age funerary practices. …
Les collections protohistoriques au musée de Lons-le-Saunier, Centre de Conservation et d’étude René Rémond
2020
Since its creation in 1817, the Lons-le-Saunier museum has been intended to house all the archaeological objects unearthed in the Jura department. Even if some collections are not included, the reserves contain most of the finds from the Jura. Protohistory plays an important role, with emblematic sites such as the Planches cave or the Chavéria necropolis. However, these collections have different legal statuses: collections listed in the museum's inventory (old collections and recent acquisitions) and collections kept in the museum but whose entry has not been regularised. With the aim of building a new museum, a vast project must be carried out in order to make the necessary acquisitions a…
Exposer l’âge du Bronze
2021
Exhibitions about the Bronze Age in France are quire a recent affair and only eighteen temporary exhibitions, most with their own catalogue, have been curated since 1986. This conference has given us the opportunity to overviev, the exhibitions that have given eirher a regional perspective of the Bronze Age or have focused on a particular theme. ln the last few years, several exhibitions have highlighred non-funerary metal deposits. The museography and public ourreach have varied for each exhibition, but ail have dealt with the difficult question of recontextualisation and how we understand and interpret archaeological data. This is particularly relevant, as the public still knows lirrle o…
Bric-à-brac pour les dieux ?
2017
This book accompanies the exhibition "Bric-à-brac pour les dieux?", produced by the Lons-le-saunier museum in 2017. Some fifteen specialists present the Bronze Age and the state of knowledge concerning the practice of depositing objects in a non-funerary context: analysis of the composition of the sets, study of the forms of the deposits and the places chosen for these practices, morphometric approaches to the objects, etc. The most significant sets are presented in the form of inserts, along with the various summary texts.
La motte médiévale de Drosnay (Marne) : résultats de deux sondages archéologiques
2011
Deux opérations de diagnostic réalisées en 2008 et 2009 ont permis de mettre au jour un segment du fossé d’enceinte d’une motte répertoriée depuis le XIXe s., ainsi que les restes d’un bâtiment en pierre sur sa partie sommitale. Le fossé a livré un mobilier dont la chronologie est centrée sur le XIIIe s. alors que le bâtiment n’est pas antérieur au XVe s. Les remaniements ayant affecté ce site sont nombreux. Dès le XVe s. d’importants travaux de remblaiement et de nivellement semblent modifier l’angle sud-ouest de la motte. Cependant, ce sont les terrassements contemporains qui ont irrémédiablement détruit la plus grande part des vestiges. Seule la basse-cour peut désormais conserver des ve…
