40 years of research at the Ecole normale supérieure-Paris
The Iron Age marks the development of the production economy in agriculture, metalworking, trade and currency.

We invite you to discover, through 40 years of activities, the contribution of the researchers of AOrOc (" Archéologie et philologie d'Orient et d'Occident " CNRS-ENS) to our knowledge on this key period for the understanding of Europe's origins, especially on the Celtic and Etruscan-Italic worlds. Photographic documents retrace the archaeological excavations and the main studies carried out at the ENS or in collaboration.
