The discovery of a cremation deposit in a silo gathers two uncommon facts in early medieval western Christian continental Europe: a cremation (secondary deposit) from the 9th century with artefacts, that can be regarded as an intentional hoard. A multidisciplinary approach (small finds and physical anthropology) will demonstrate how the analysis of these data can provide socio-cultural hypothesis. After a full description of the evidence, the paper will present the archaeological discussion between the different archaeologists involved in this case. Gender and cultural interpretations will be submitted.
