The Valais in Focus of Research – Anouk Bystritzsky

Description

The practice of cremation involves various phases, each leaving specific traces for the trained eye of the archaeologist. In Valais, it appears that several practices coexisted throughout the entire Roman period, indicating the diverse combination possibilities in each phase of the cremation process. Through interdisciplinary investigation of several small Roman necropolises (Ardon, Lens, Randogne-Bluche, Salgesch, and Randa), it will be possible to demonstrate the regional and chronological development of this burial ritual.
