Abstract
The aristocratic residences identified in the Celtic world illustrate the search for luxury living conditions that reflect the prestige of their occupants. While luxury is a relative concept and the buildings we are dealing with are wooden structures, the monumentality of certain constructions and the care taken in their decoration are undeniable. Regarding the interior design of these residences, direct archaeological sources are almost non-existent ; however, indirect sources of iconography (in the art of Situles) and of archaeology (with the development of certain funerary spaces) seem to reproduce luxurious interiors. We therefore can consider whether it is possible to view these funerary devices as a faithful reflection of the actual living conditions, thus raising the question of the status and function of objects deposited in burial sites.
