Abstract (cited)
[FR] La détermination par spectrométrie de fluorescence X du matériau constitutif de plaquettes ornant divers artefacts luxueux trouvés en contexte de La Tène C (essentiellement de La Tène C1), et d’autres objets analogues sans contexte précis, révèle que ces plaquettes sont taillées dans du corail, et non dans de l’os ou de l’ivoire comme ce fut parfois avancé. Les objets étudiés dans cet article sont les éléments de harnachement de la tombe à char d’Orval dans la Manche, des fibules du type de Pleurs de Champagne, du Bassin parisien et du Centre-Ouest, ainsi que des plaquettes détachées de leur(s) support(s) d’un enclos funéraire ou cultuel de Châteaubernard, en Charente. Ce constat d’une utilisation encore notable du corail pendant La Tène C va à l’encontre du postulat communément admis d’un quasi-tarissement des importations de corail méditerranéen en Gaule à partir du milieu du IIIe siècle avant J.-C.
[EN] Coral and luxurious artefacts from Middle La Tène period in non-Mediterranean Gaul. Orval grave in Manche department, Pleurs type fibulae, Châteaubernard ditch in Charente department.X-ray fluorescence analysis of platelets decorating some luxury goods clearly dated from La Tène C contexts, mostly from La Tène C1 (and this can be extrapolated to artefacts of a similar nature lacking precise context), reveals that they are indisputably composed of coral, not bone or ivory as it has sometimes been stated. These objects are the harness fittings from the Orval chariot burial (Manche), type Pleurs fibulae from Champagne, the Paris Basin and the Central-Western area, as well as platelets released from their mounting(s) found in a funerary or ritual enclosure at Châteaubernard (Charente). This enduringly important use of coral during La Tène C goes against the commonly accepted assumption that coral imports from the Mediterranean almost dried up in Gaul from the middle of the 3rd century B. C.
