Vix, Ca’ Morta : deux chars du type « à caisse exhaussée »
Abstract
Vix and CA’ MORTA: two wagons of “raised box” type - The wagon from the burial ground at Ca’ Morta (Como), the subject of a recent reexamination by the author, constitutes a significant social maker. It is highly likely to be a wagon of “raised box” type of the Hallstatt period, similar to the vehicle discovered in the princely burial of Vix. Its presence in a Golasecca context is somewhat incongruous and highlights the importance of exchange between elites on both sides of the Alps.
