Institutions, centers for study and research
Lattes en Languedoc - Les Gaulois du Sud
This original website, conceived by the Ministry of Culture, fully describes the archaeological site of Lattes (Lattara, Montpellier). Whether it was Gaulish or Etruscan, Lattara was always a place where natives and other populations from the Western Mediterranean basin met. Many inscriptions were found there, including two Greek alphabets.
Bibracte
The European archaeological park and centre of Bibracte (Burgondy) is one of the best places to explore Celtic civilization. There is a museum and also a specialized centre for documentation.
Recueil informatisé des inscriptions gauloises
The
Recueil informatisé des inscriptions gauloises
is the platform resulting from the work carried out within the framework of an ANR JCJC that started on 1 January 2020, for a duration of 4 years (ANR 19-CE17-0003). It aims at an online edition of texts in Gaulish language by aligning it with the current standards in terms of digital humanities.
