La redécouverte du dépôt de bronzes de Bugarach (Aude) et l'âge du Bronze des hautes Corbières.

Résumé

The rediscovery of the catalogue of the P. Raynaud’s collection in the Archives of the Aude made it possible to reconstitute surely a six bronze pieces hoard of the Fine Arts Museum of Carcassonne which were until now either without provenance (five axeheads), or erroneous attribution (a bronze wire ligature). Axeheads have limited flanges and median constriction (or emerging wings). Four stocky specimens axes correspond to the Roussillon type of Chardenoux and Courtois (1979), the fifth thinner and slender corresponds to the Gorniès variant of the Boismurie type (Guillemin, Vital 2007). These axeheads were attached by a bronze wire which is probably a spiral bracelet reused for this purpose. This peculiarity suggests a possible rapprochement with another depot of attached axes which was previously reported in the neighbouring municipality of Sougraigne, but which has probably been poorly described and poorly referenced and remains in any case uncontrollable. It is possible that a relationship between this deposit of Bugarach and another deposit of Sougraigne, that of the M. Gennevaux’s collection kept at the Archaeological Society of Montpellier, existed, because two axes of this deposit are of the same types as those of Bugarach. Moreover these two sets have the same characters, corresponding to those of a cache of recuperator or foundry. With the deposit of Arnave in Ariège these are the most characteristic sets of the Middle Pyrenean Bronze age whose characteristic bronze axes are the subject of a typological revision and an up-to-date distribution analysis. The local context is also evoked through some remarkable finds of metallic objects made in the High Corbières around the Pech of Bugarach
