By Mr. Moisson, the chief on the site who stayed on the spot in order
to move forward with their job under harsh climatic conditions.
It took 4 days to extract the mud from its awful state: crushed, the
neck and the foot entered in the paunch, the loop had to be dismantled
and fortunately it would be possible to reconstitute the whole.
The 12th and 13th February, they discovered the body
of the Lady of Vix (In a funeral room of 9m2 remained inviolate), lying
on a tank and dressed with numerous jewelry, bangle made with schist
and with pearls in amber. Aside the skull rested an admirable necklace
in gold of 24 carat, weighing 480 grams.
40 000 ceramic’s fragments, 1 figure made in bronze, amphorae, glasses,
craters with volutes and posts, 25 mud in black figurines, earrings, bangles, rings,
pearls and few weapons.
