Abstract: Un cimetière médiéval situé à cinq cents mètres au nord des églises rupestres de Lālibalā a été identifié sur le promontoire de Qedemt. Cette zone relativement préservée offre l’opportunité d’appréhender les pratiques funéraires à Lālibalā à partir de données archéo-anthropologiques. Après une évaluation en 2010, une première campagne de fouilles en 2012 a permis de mettre au jour une quarantaine d’inhumations. Les premiers résultats témoignent d’un espace funéraire ayant fonctionné entre le XIe et le XVIIIe s… Show more

“…In the past, research at Lalibela had focused predominantly on the rock-cut, hypogeum churches (Gerster 1970;Phillipson 2009: 123;Mercier & Lepage 2012) (Figure 3). More recently, archaeological focus has shifted to investigate, for example, the longer term evolution of churches; their stratigraphy and the possible original non-religious functions of some of the structures (Phillipson 2007(Phillipson , 2012Finneran 2009Finneran : 421-22, 2012a; examining the churches in their landscape setting (Bosc-Tiessé et al 2014); placing Lalibela within its wider geographic context (Finneran 2012b); and excavation of a cemetery at Qademt, 500m north of the churches (Gleize et al 2015). The latter has particularly significant implications for cosmopolitanism, as there were clear changes in burial orientation over three phases between the eleventh and eighteenth centuries, raising the question of whether all the burials were Christian (Gleize et al 2015: 250).…”
