Complexe funéraire du Moutot à Lavau, Archaeological burial complex in Lavau, France.
The burial site contains a 40-meter-diameter tumulus with a burial chamber of 14 square meters, containing remains and artifacts from Iron Age.
Excavations in 2014 revealed a fifth-century BCE chariot tomb containing the remains of a male individual along with bronze cauldrons and ceremonial objects.
The discovered artifacts demonstrate trade connections between the Celtic populations of Central Europe and the Mediterranean civilizations during the Hallstatt period.
The excavation site, managed by INRAP archaeologists under state supervision, provides educational resources about Celtic archaeological discoveries in eastern France.
The burial chamber contained gold ornaments, a bronze cauldron decorated with lion heads, and a two-wheeled chariot indicating the deceased's high social position.
