Significance By integrating genomic and archaeological data, we provide new insights into the Neolithic French monumental site of Fleury-sur-Orne in Normandy, where a group of selected individuals was buried in impressively long monuments. The earliest individuals buried at Fleury-sur-Orne match the expected western European Neolithic genetic diversity, while three individuals, designated as genetic outliers, were buried after 4,000 calibrated BCE. We hypothesize that different, unrelated families or clans used the site over several centuries. Thirteen of 14 of the analyzed individuals were male, indicating an overarching patrilineal system. However, one exception, a female buried with a symbolically male artifact, suggests that the embodiment of the male gender in death was required to access burial at the monumental structures.

The necropolis of Can Gambus-1 (Sabadell, Barcelona). New data on the funerary practices during the Middle Neolithic in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula

RÉSUMÉ Dans le bassin de la Seine, la pé- riodisation du IIIe millénaire est confuse. Cependant le réexamen du mobilier sur la base des études récentes, et une discussion critique des datations, permettent d'isoler deux périodes dans la construction des sépultures collectives. Ces deux périodes se distinguent par des pratiques funéraires différentes et sont séparées par plusieurs siècles sans construction. Un tel hiatus contraste avec le caractère continu de l'utilisation des monuments. La présence campaniforme est attestée vers la fin de la période, mais son rapport aux monuments reste peu clair.
