Ollioules "Quartier Quiez 2": a Late Antiquity necropolis with a sea view - abridged version
Résumé
The 2019 excavation of a Late Antiquity settlement in Ollioules, in the Var region of France, uncovered a funerary complex comprising sixty-two individuals buried in thirty tombs. There were signs that many of the tombs had been reopened, the bodies inside had been reduced, and several successive phases of inhumation had taken place. A great variability in the funerary architecture was observed. The different studies show that the deceased were individuals, probably of low social status, who had carried out various activities since their youth and who had experienced numerous episodes of deficiency.
