Acy Romance mortuary and ritual complex by Andy B on Wednesday, 06 April 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
The mortuary and ritual complex at Acy Romance is represented by two cemeteries,
each of which flank and overlook the contemporary settlement at La Warde . One of these cemeteries, ‘La Croizetter’ was located on a limestone ridge overlooking the settlement and consisted of a rectangular enclosure associated with twenty eight cremation burials. The majority of these burials (twenty one) lay inside the enclosure, as well as a large rectangular structure consisting of twelve postholes, measuring approximately 9 metres in square.

The structure was located around a central pit containing cremated bone. Some of the earliest burials in this group originated in the middle of the second century B.C., but over half dated between 120–110 and 70–60 B.C., at which time the enclosure and the shrine were constructed. Evidence of brooches, belt chains and glass bracelets and anklets, as well as a significant quantity of animal bone was recovered from within the burials. It has been suggested was this material was placed within the body on the cremation pyre rather than being deliberately deposited. Additional to this complex, excarnated remains have been found at the settlement of La Warde, as well as evidence of cremated remains, from the first century A.D.

The Gauls of Acy-Romance: Discovering the Remi by bat400 on Thursday, 07 February 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
Visitors to the village of Acy-Romance north of the modern day French city of Rheims, will see no sign of the Gallic village that was once there. However, very unusually, this village has been fully excavated.

A succession of digs over fifteen years, plot by plot, has revealed the full details of the little Gallic settlement that stood here some 2200 years ago, in the heart of the territory of the Remi tribe.

You can now take a virtual tour of the village.
Set on a plain above the Aisne valley, it was structured around a religious centre comprising a burial mound with an ancestral tomb, a large square and five buildings, the “temples”.

Around this stood the residential quarters, with livestock farmers to the northeast, arable farmers to the east, artisans to the southeast and labourers (probably slaves) to the north.

Items discovered on the site during its excavation have revealed the way of life and standard of living of the people who lived there, what they did in their daily life and their carefully structured and highly sophisticated funerary practices.

With an amazing 3D recreation of the village of Acy-Romance, 500 documents including photos, plans, interactive documents and animated sequences, the website presents the very latest research on Gallic civilisation in a dynamic, clear and user-friendly format.

This multimedia production provides an opportunity to mention the commitment of the team of volunteer archaeologists whose excavation work has revealed one of the largest Gallic sites ever to be studied and whose research has revolutionised our understanding of Gallic civilisation.
