L’Oppidum de Bibracte (Mont Beuvray, France) Bilan de 10 Annees de Recherches (1996–2005)
Résumé
This article contains the results of 10 years of research in the Gaulish oppidum of Bibracte between 1996 and 2005. It discusses the thematic developed in Centre archéologique européen of Bibracte in this period. It concerns the natural and human environment, the organisation of the oppidum and the political and economic structures. The palaeoenvironmental analyses have demonstrated the strong impact of human activities, namely of paleometallurgy, on the natural environment. The understanding of the inner organisation of the oppidum has been enriched by the study of the fortifications, the burials, the workshop and residential areas and the public buildings. The greatest result was the uncovering of a basilica complex of a Roman republican style in the centre of the settlement (between 50 and 30 BC). Finally, the study of the finds has contributed to determination of the phases and the chronology of the settlement.
