| Description: |
International audience ; The necropolis of Sur les Pâtureaux in Chichery (Yonne, France) was explored from 1981 to 1984 by J.-L. Tainturier, then by J.-P. Delor. Thirteen graves were uncovered over a surface of 600 m 2 while the limits of the site have probably not been attained. Most of these graves are of the “ Balloy type”, which is identified in around a dozen sites in the Paris Basin. They associate a “ vault” installed within the grave and a defunct placed in a mobile container. They are attributed to the Cerny horizon. The tombs are installed in two to three rows following a north-west/ south-east axis, though we cannot assume they were included in one or several elongated monuments, as is often the case for this type of burial. The population includes a significant number of very young individuals, indicating either that the selection of the subjects was not based on age, or that the necropolis was divided into sectors based on this same criteria. The objects associated with the graves are few and consist only of worked flint objects, mainly arrowheads and picks. No macroscopic traces of use are visible on them. Such a lithic industry is not incongruous in the context of Balloy-type burials, but the absence of any other objects is elsewhere unknown. While Cerny is undeniably the primary reference for such a necropolis, some features of Sur les Pâtureaux voice caution. Though picks are frequent in the habitats of this culture, some of the weapon armatures are more closely associated with the Rössen and Chassey cultures. Moreover, the orientation of the graves is the one most frequently given in the Mittelneolithikum of Rhineland. The seven dates obtained situate the tombs before the middle of the 5th millennium, or in the first part of the Cerny horizon. They confirm that Balloy-type tombs exist in the Paris Basin from the very beginning of this horizon, with no relation to the pottery facies of the Cerny culture. ; La nécropole de Sur les Pâtureaux à Chichery a été explorée entre 1981 et 1984 par J.-L. ... |
