Based on a wealth of documentation - some of it unpublished -, this work is a first synthesis of the metal objects produced and used by the first Celts, populations of the end of the first Iron Age (630-430 BC) distributed between Southwest Germany and central France. This is a period in which a phenomenon of significant social complexity began, particularly visible in the funerary world, by very richly endowed tombs like that of the famous lady of Vix. Through a systematic study of the metal furniture discovered in the dwellings, Emilie Dubreucq seeks to understand the role and impact of metal in the daily life of the societies of this period, at a pivotal moment in which iron metallurgy and trade networks with many regions of Europe, particularly the Mediterranean, were developing.
