Conference by Elise Henrion, Departmental Archaeology Service of the Alpes de Haute-Provence As part of the Art and Archaeology of Judaism cycle In December 2019, a vast cemetery from the second Middle Ages, which had disappeared from the collective memory, was discovered by chance on the eastern slope of the Toutes-Aures hill, southwest of Manosque.
