Das spätkeltische Wagengrab von Boé (Dép. Lot-et-Garonne): Studien zu Wagen und Wagengräbern der jüngeren Latènezeit
Monographien des RGZM, Volume 54
In 1959, a complex was discovered in Aquitaine near the Oppidum Agen, which could be identified as a rich grave; a re-excavation by R. Boudet confirmed this in 1990. The grave can probably be assigned to a rex of the Nitiobrogens, who was buried c. 50-35 BC. The pottery includes amphorae (Dressel 1B, Lamboglia 2), Italic (Campana B among others) and local forms. The metal finds are exceptionally rich. A four-wheeled ceremonial wagon, with a construction similar to that of Dejbjerg, could be reconstructed. Chariots have been important components of rich graves since the Bronze Age. Chariot finds from Latène C/D were collected for Central Europe and methodically analysed; the graves were placed in their context.
