Lecture by Anouk Bystritzsky
The practice of cremation comprises various stages, each of which leaves specific traces for the trained eye of the archaeologist. In Valais, for example, several practices seem to have coexisted throughout the Roman period, testifying to the numerous possible combinations at each stage of the cremation process. The multidisciplinary study of several small Roman necropolises (Ardon, Lens, Randogne-Bluche, Salgesch and Randa) will make it possible to show the regional and chronological development of this burial ritual.
