This study highlights the differences in the funerary domain between native milieux, as especially represented by two graveyards, Enserune and Ambrussum, and the Greek colonies, as particularly known from the cemeteries of Sainte-Barbe in Marseille/Massalia and of Peyrou II at Agde/Agathe: including the treatment of perinatal deaths, represented in the native settlements whereas absent from their cemeteries, but normally attested in the cemetery of Marseille/Sainte-Barbe; the almost exclusive use of cremation for the indigenous dead, except in the south Alps and in the case of perinatal inhumations in the settlements; the admixture of cremations and inhumations in the Marseille and Agde cemeteries, although children up to ten years of age were always inhumed at Marseille; in the two cultural spheres, different styles of funerary pyres and the deposit of cremated bones either in an ossuary, or directly in the loculus; double graves of adult and child, well attested in the native world, but exceptional at Marseilles; the shape of the grave varies according to the treatment of the corpse, whether a vase was used to hold the cremated remains, and the nature of accompanying gravegoods. Most of the indigenous funerary practices already existed in Late Bronze IIIB and in the First Iron Age; changes of the Second Iron Age especially impact on the relative frequencies at which these different uses occur; greater standardization, reducing the dichotomy between Western Languedoc on the one hand and Eastern Languedoc and Provence on the other is also apparent.
