Les sociétés alpines de l’Antiquité tardive face à la mort en montagne : au cœur de la civitas d’Eturamina, le site de Saint-Pierre 2 à Thorame-Basse (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, 04)

Résumé

In the heart of the upper Verdon valley (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, 04), the Late Antiquity civitas of Eturamina extended between the modern villages of Thorame-Haute and Thorame-Basse. An interdisciplinary and diachronic research programme has led to the discovery of a new site located on the Saint-Pierre plateau, at an altitude of more than 1,300 m. Since 2019, archaeological operations have revealed protohistoric and ancient built structures and have led to the discovery of a funerary space from the High Empire and a second one dating from Late Antiquity. The final phase of the site, which is the best-documented period, corresponds to the Late Antique funerary zone, represented by about 30 burials dated between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 7th century (dated by 14C). The deceased are inhumed in various funerary receptables or, sometimes, in soft wrappings. The elements discovered suggest clothed burials, with ornamental items. Beyond these strictly funerary considerations, this site has enabled the acquisition, for the first time, of data concerning the funerary practices of Late Antiquity populations in a mountainous area.
