| Summary: | The Allobroges: the name itself conjures up the powerful people of Gauls who occupied what is now the Dauphiné, and whose capital was Vienne, in Isère. While they appear early on in History, thanks to Greek and Roman authors, their material culture and their way of life remain largely unknown to us. The present work therefore takes on particular prominence, as it is one of the few recent publications dealing with a gaul site in that area. The Camp of Larina is especially known today for its settelements of late Antiquity and of the Early Middle Ages, although the presence of humans since the Bronze Age was testified as early as the 19 th century. As for the Iron Age, the period which this volume focuses on. the type of settlement remained an enigma: fortified heights? Sanctuary? A thorough analysis of the objects found in a rift in the cliff that borders the site tries to offer some elements of an answer. The study of this exceptional collection, which includes ornemental objects, agricultural, domestic and craftmen’s tools, weapons, coins, compared with other sites having revealed similar collections, leads the author to suggest that this site may be one of the large stores of objects (sacrificial or not) wich can be found scattered all over the Gaul territory and the Celtic world. The specific features of the findings lead him to view a new, unexpected interpretation of the Camp of Larina in the Iron Age. Finally, the detaile inventory of the objects and their place in the context of regional Protohistory give us an insight into the cultural and economic importance of the Allobroges just before the caesarian conquest : contacts with Marseilles, connections with the Swiss Plateau, local particularities. |
