Les apports de cette recherche concernent les mutations technologiques dans le systeme de production d’objets en fer. L’attention portee a la part du recyclage dans la production modifie quelque peu les discours anterieurs sur les essais de quantification des types d’objets forges (outils, armes, parures…). Au-dela, le lien entre le statut des sites fouilles (exploitation agricole, hameau rural, site fortifie, grosse agglomeration) et le type d’activite de forge qui y a ete exercee a permis de distinguer le controle politique de la production de certains objets. Et enfin, revenant sur des idees recues, les auteurs se sont attaches a discerner, dans une perspective historique, les circuits de diffusion de ces objets de fer.

The distinctive quality of the farm at Laquenexy is that it was discovered entire, giving an overall understanding of its structure (the fittings and amenities of the buildings) and the daily life of its occupants through study of the archaeological goods (crockery, metal objects, fauna and vegetable macro-remains). If we accept that it is indeed the excavated farm that is described in text sources, it is mentioned in archives from the 13th till the end of the 17th century. It would have gone under the name Loixy or Loixey and was first cited in 1234 in the cartulary of Abbey Saint-Vincent in Metz. In 1518 the nearby fortified manor-house of Villers and the farm of Loixy belonged to seigneur François de Gournais. The last mention of the seigneurial farm is made in a deed of acknowledgement and census written in 1681. The farm must have ori...

Meunier. It was a reference point for the Merovingian period throughout the 20th century. Based on this necropolis, several generations of researchers have tried to study the problem of the migration of the Franks in the fifth and sixth centuries. Our lecture first presents the various theories on this question, and in a second step the hypotheses are compared with the current interpretation of the archaeological data.
