Résumé

This paper explores the nature and chronology of La Tene and early Roman unenclosed agglomerations in central-eastern France. It has been prompted by the discovery of a c. 115 ha La Tene D2b/Augustan (c. 50 BC to AD 15) site close to Bibracte in the Morvan, located around the source of the River Yonne. This complex provides a new perspective on the chronology and role of Late La Tene and early Roman unenclosed settlements, adding further complexity to the story of the development of Late La Tene oppida. It indicates that these 'agglomerations' followed remarkably varied chronological trajectories, raising important issues concerning the nature of landscape and social change at the end of the Iron Age.
