Les fouilles effectuées à Paule depuis 1998 ont mis au jour quatre sculptures dans des remblais datés des IIe et Ier s. avant J.-C. L'étude de ces œuvres permet de dégager leurs principales caractéristiques et de proposer des parallèles dans les sculptures du Second Age du Fer en Gaule. Elle permet d'émettre l'hypothèse de bustes d'ancêtres, dont la découverte au cœur d'une forteresse aristocratique ne serait en définitive guère surprenante.Excavations carried at Paule since 1988 have brought to light four statuettes in levels dated to the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. The study of these statuettes has enabled their principal characteristics to be outlined and to propose parallels with other statuettes of the Second Iron Age in Gaul. A hypothesis concerning the presence of ancestral busts is proposed here, where the discovery in the heart of an aristocratic hillfort is in definitive not surprising.Menez Yves, Giot Pierre-Roland, Laubenheimer Fanette, Le Goff Elven, Vendries Christophe.
