Abstract
Summary of the research findings
The ancient necropolis of the Saint-Laud station in Angers provides valuable insights into the identity and integration of local and foreign populations in Andecavian society at the end of Antiquity. An interdisciplinary study combining paleogenomics, dating and archaeo-anthropology made it possible to identify the origins of individuals buried according to Germano-Eastern funerary practices. These results suggest complex migrations and cultural interactions while offering a glimpse into the organization of the funerary space and the social dynamics in this region of Gaul.
