About Graphbz

The Graphbz project is the result of research work on geometric ornaments from individual ornaments. It now takes the form of an experimental website within the work of CNRS UMR 6298, in the corpus research axis, in collaboration with the Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives.

Our will – which is collective in essence - is to decline the use and transformations of the geometric patterns found on bracelets in Europe, from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.

Graphbz also claims the legacy of Joseph Déchelette’s work, as well as Joseph Déchelette Association and Bibracte European Archaeological Center. The Déchelette library has largely contributed to the realisation of this project (Joseph Déchelette Fine Arts Museum in Roanne, France).
