Lousonna: the activities and economy of an ancient town through an archaeological and digital study of its finds (Lausanne, Switzerland)

An SNSF-funded project (Swiss National Science Foundation) : Lousonna: activités et économie d'une ville antique par l'étude archéologique et numérique de ses mobiliers. - Intermediate repository for completed data. Main language: French

These datasets are the product of a research group funded by the SNSF. They include all the coins, glass objects and metallic or non-metallic artefacts known as small finds discovered during excavations in the town of Lousonna (ancient Lausanne, Switzerland) between 1850 and 2020. A table describing the contexts of discovery is included along with three tables dedicated to the finds.
These data were produced between 2015 and 2023, using a common methodology for documenting archaeological finds.
Photographs, technical drawings and geomatic projections are not included here, but can be requested from the authors. The data are produced by the authors directly from the artefacts. The interactive projections will be available according to FAIR principles on the ArkeoGIS platform by 2026.
It can be considered as 99% complete. The remaining 1% will take years to complete. A second deposit will then be made.
The research to which they relate is still in progress as part of three PhD: A. Crausaz : Small finds from Lousonna ; N. Consiglio : Coinage in Roman Settlements in Western Switzerland ; F. Pirrami : Roman Glass Artefacts from Vidy, Yverdon and Nyon.
At the end of these three PhD (2026), all the raw data will again be uploaded and made available in a definitive form. If authorized by the public research bodies, the data will be made available under a public open licence.
