Résumé
A rescue dig undertaken in 1985 led to the discovery of a cinerary urn with a relatively small amount of grave goods: a bronze ring, a tubular bronze bead, fragments of a gold ring. The technical characteristics and the alloy used for the artefact are well in keeping with the typological attribution to the « Rhine, Switzerland and Eastern France » Late Bronze Age. Examination of both the remains of the bones and the metal objects, in particular the gold ring, seems to indicate that the body was cremated with its ornaments, in an uneven fire which reached fairly high temperatures (800 to 900 °C). Collaborative research on this discovery from Florange has added some interesting information to our knowledge about the regional Late Bronze Age regarding funerary practices (poorly documented until now), gold palaeometallurgy, and the first observable pa- laeopathology data.
