Résumé En

In the 1980s, the archaeological diagnostic carried out on the edge of the hillfort of Niord at Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, confirmed the presence of several occupation sequences dated of the Early Iron Age and early 2nd century BC. Excavated levels of a few square meters revealed among fauna and others remains a human frontal bone intentionally perforated. This exceptional piece is one of the few cranial remains discovered on the western side of Gaule. It is now a part of the large collection of skull fragments related specifically to the beheading now well recognized. The observation of various artificial surface modifications such as the perforation involves a clear desire to transform this piece as usual or symbolic object which leads to consider the other examples for comparison.
