The article presents the main results of the excavation of a vast necropolis (1981 graves) dating to the late Roman period (end of the fourth to the mid seventh century A.D.), carried out in 1964 and 1965 in Haute-Provence. There are four main architectural types of graves ; coffins made from tiles (13 %, of triangular or quadrangular section), coffins composed of local stones «lauses » (34 %, with the same variants as the preceding group), composite coffins (tiles and stone, in minority), and the best represented group, burials placed directly in the earth (with or without a lid made from stones). This typology appears to be unconnected with that of the position of the body, the different types (arms straight at side, one arm straight at side and one arm on the abdomen, hands joined on the pelvis, arms crossed over chest) being equally distributed throughout the different graves. The artifacts are not abundant, mainly represented by some regional pottery dating to the late fourth and fifth centuries A.D., some oval buckles of bronze dating to the sixth century, and a group of rings which are difficult to date. Analysis of the topographical development of the cemetery thus relies essentially on the distribution of the different types of burials : it seems that we can distinguish a linear development of the necropolis from the north-west to the south-west ; the graves with the bodies buried directly in the earth, (covered or not with stones), which sometimes contained pottery but usually with no grave goods at all at the end of the fourth and the fifth centuries, being progressively replaced in the sixth and the seventh centuries by graves with coffins composed of tiles or stones, where the rite of «dressed burials » tends to become general. The anthropological study provides a picture of a rural population benefitting from hardly any medical care (numerous traumatisms and uncared for bone pathologies) with a short life expectancy (26 years), but with no sign of food deficiency, which, from a physical anthropology pont of view does not differentiate these people from known populations during the prehistoric and roman periods in Provence. Thus, next to new elements (dress accessories of «Barbarian » type, christian signs on certain objects) this necropolis reveals a culture still deeply rooted in the roman period, particularly indicated by its location deep in the countryside, apparently far from any religious centre. The catalogue of graves is presented in a table.
