Abstract
Michel Kazansky, Two rich burials of the time of the Great Invasions in Northern Gaule : Airan and Pouan. The Hunnic or barbarian style that appears in the burial furnishings of Airan (Department of Calvados) and of Pouan (Department of Aube) first saw the light during the first half of the 5th century in the cosmopolitan environment of Attila's court, in the central Danube area. The spread of this style is due in part to the renown of the Huns at the time and partly to the mobility that the aristocracy of that period enjoyed. These important people went from one court to the next, and in their train were doubtless goldsmiths. It would therefore be inappropriate to look for an eastern connection as regards the individuals who were buried in Airan and in Pouan. Each of these tombs should be studied, above all, within the context that applies to the antiquities of the area in which the tombs were found.
