What do the charcoal fragments found in cremations represent ? Are these the mere remains of opportunistically gathered fuel, or were they deliberately chosen because of their species and/or their calibre and/or their combustible properties ? In northern France, oak or ash were often selected in proto-historical times. In the south, in ancient times and in a rural context or outside towns or cities, small-caliber wood from shrubs was often used to cremate bodies. Is the use of bundles of sticks in funeral pyres indicative of the hierarchical position of the deceased in the society, a matter of custom, or is it simply a mean to use up surplus fuel
