Abstract
The funerary practices in shelter of the Iron Age in Corsica are characterized by diversity from the developed sepulchral modes - individual, collective or multiple burials, primary and secondary deposit, pratice of inhumation and cremation. These funerary modes translate the various men´s behaviours towards death through a type of tomb - shelters. The Grotta Piatta site´s results (Aregno, North Corsica) recently studied, are presented. These data analysis will describe us the vision of death at the Iron Age, taking into account the sometimes fragmentary data we have.
