Résumé

The so called Early Celtic “Fürstensitze” undoubtedly reflect a change in settlement behaviour and in society. Our project investigates sites from the Urnfield to the Early Latène period in combination with their natural environment using GIS tools. The modelling of territories and of lines of communication is used to reconstruct the potential meaning of each «Fürstensitz» in its region, the analysis of visibilities can provide information on the prehistoric perception of space and the possible meaning of the “Fürstensitze” as places of power and control.
