- Abstract
- Pottery and food are valuable proxies to explore the mutations of the material culture of the Northern Gaul populations since their integration in the Roman Empire. In particular, wares used for prepare, cook, serve or store and the staple aliments such as meat and cereals. The analysis of technical, typological and functional aspects associated to our knowledge of agrarian systems shed light on different behaviors linked with the process of acculturation. The sustaining of late Iron Age traditions, the adoption of Mediterranean habits, and the adaptation of most of the reference proposed have created new cultural identities. Three studied areas focused on two caput civitatis, Tongres & Bavay, and a fluvial town, Tournai, have been evaluated. By comparing the material from about sixty archeological sites, this research shows that the receptivity of the culture under influence is as much dependent on human as environmental factors. The landscape, the administrative framework, the customs and tastes of the populations have determined the degree and the timeframe of the acculturation process.
