This paper deals with length measurement during the Hallstatt and La Tène periods. Recurrent measurements of building structures and very
rare finds supposed to be scales or gauges raised the question whether Iron Age master builders used a certain system of units, sometimes
referred to as the “Celtic foot”. We will start our considerations with data sets from well-known places like the Heuneburg, Manching, and
Bibracte, and highlight thoughts about which mathematical insights are needed to build complex and large houses. Indeed, even if the unit
of measurement known as the “Celtic foot” does not apply to every Iron Age settlement, the planning techniques and geometrical methods used
to build are quite similar, well-known and mastered by the constructors.

L'emploi d'un système de mesure est attesté, ainsi que le respect de certains canons dans la conception et les dimensions des ossatures. L'étude des projets architecturaux originels à partir des vestiges conservés permet de définir un nombre limité de modèles employés de façon systématique dans l'habitat. Ils fournissent ainsi des données qualitatives et quantitatives pour le calcul du volume approximatif de bois nécessaire à l'édification de chaque structure. Ces estimations pourront ensuite être considérées en fonction des différentes hypothèses de densité et d'évolution chronologique de l'habitat. Associées à des analyses dendrologiques, elles permettront aussi de raisonner en termes de ressource exploitée et d'impact de ce système économique sur le territoire.

J.‑C., des oppida, agglomérations fortifiées dont le caractère urbain a été reconnu grâce aux fouilles de sites de référence comme l’oppidum de Bibracte, en Bourgogne. L’augmentation exponentielle des données archéologiques à l’échelle européenne au cours des dernières décennies nous incite cependant à réexaminer la question compte tenu d’un phénomène urbain plus articulé, qui trouve ses racines déjà au IIIe siècle av. J.‑C.

How to envisage research on the ancient city? What are the most appropriate instruments to analyse it? What are the relationships between the emergence of the city as an independent community and the urbanization as archaeology can restore it? Without claiming to resolve these difficult questions, the contributions gathered here show that urbanization and the definitions of the ancient city used by contemporary historians and archaeologists are far from being precisely determined; they can even vary according to the authors, disciplines, periods and contexts. As a consequence, there is no town, but towns; no city, but cities. The issue of a definition is also the evaluation of theories, in several aspects.
