As part of an exhibition that will take place at the Vesunna Museum in Périgueux from June, this richly illustrated catalog presents the latest archaeological discoveries on the Celtic cities of Aquitaine.
From the Atlantic to the Carpathians, the very first cities of Celtic Europe developed in the 3rd century BC. In Aquitaine, when clues suggested the existence of these first urban forms, a team of scientists was formed to verify and complete the data. Since 2019, five sites have been explored in Dordogne, Gironde, and Lot-et-Garonne.
The exhibition explains the innovative digital processes used to explore these cities, spread over several dozen hectares, and attempts to understand their organization. It also presents the results of the study of archaeological objects, which reveal significant artisanal activity and numerous exchanges with the Mediterranean world.
