Located not far from the site of theVix grave, Sainte-Colombe is on a very rich archaeological territory. In the 19th century, severalHallstatt-era burial mounds containing wagon burials were excavated at the request ofNapoleon III. The first, located at a place called La Garenne, provided in 1846 a magnificent bronzelebes of Etruscan origin,[3] now displayed in theMusée du Pays Châtillonnais inChâtillon-sur-Seine. In another, at La Butte, gold bracelets and earrings were discovered in the grave of a woman laid to rest on an iron-clad funerary wagon.[4][5] These gold items are now kept at theNational Archeological Museum inSaint-Germain-en-Laye.
In the middle of the twentieth century René Joffroy (1958) postulated that the elites buried under the tumulus of La Butte and La Garenne hadMont Lassois as their place of residence. However geomagnetic surveys carried out in 2015 revealed the presence of several large buildings in the vicinity of the Sainte-Colombe burial mounds, suggesting that they may have also lived nearby.[6]
The remains of several Gallo-Roman villas were discovered in 1851.[7] Part of a mortuary column representing Venus and a sculpture of a draped woman discovered in 1867 are now kept in the Musée du pays Châtillonnais.[8]
