Resumen de La mémoire des idoles démembrées: Sur la piste des simulacres funéraires et des contextes orientalisants des fouilles Bonaparte à Vulci
Recent discoveries in the necropolis of Vulci shed new light on the funerary rites practised by the eminent members of the Etruscan city during the 7th century BC. By critically reviewing the scattered material from the Bonaparte excavations of the second quarter of the 19th century, this article focuses in particular on a class of Vulcian toreutic production made for funeral purposes, that of anthropomorphic simulacra, as well as on the objects and archaeological contexts of the orientalising period that could be associated with them.
