SALINS
Jura, France.
A large oppidum in a
region rich in salt and iron deposits that have been
worked since prehistoric times. Known today as the
Camp du Château, it flourished during the Late Bronze
Age and up to the end of Iron Age I. Gray pottery with
wavy decoration (Phokaian) and several fragments of
red-figure and black-figure Attic vases have been found.
