Mormont

Le Mormont in the Swiss canton of Vaud, notable for its late La Tène period Helvetic cult site, features over 250 Celtic burial pits. These pits, containing sacrificial deposits, include a range of artifacts such as ceramic and bronze vessels, iron tools, jewelry, grinding stones, coins, and both animal and human remains, underscoring its significance in Gaulish religious practices just before the Roman conquest. The site provides invaluable insight into the religious and social practices of the Helvetii during the Late Iron Age. Its archaeological relevance is heightened by the richness and unprecedented scale of the finds, making it a key location for understanding pre-Roman Celtic culture in the region.
