Original Abstract

The case studies of two French oppida, Porrey and Bibracte, open the way to unanswered questions related to their functions. The field research carried out within the Oppidum as Urban Landscape program represented a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the area and the reopening of two ancient test pits in the sectors of Porrey and Verger, two areas favorable for the construction of settlements but lacking convincing evidence of occupation. Also, the evolution of the landscape around the Bibracte oppida from the Late Iron Age to the post-medieval period was related to the sudden emergence of a network of large fortified towns, known as oppida. The trench excavations at the Bibracte oppidum and the operations in the Porrey and Verger sectors were accompanied by geophysical surveys of the adjacent test pits of the summit mound dating from the mid and third quarter of the 1st century BC. The archaeological excavation of the oppida, dating from the Late Iron Age to the Early Roman period, has focused exclusively on the original areas. The sediment sequences mark human- induced erosion and geomorphological changes in the 4th-1st centuries BC.
