Abstract
Recent excavations carried out by Inrap in Corsica have revealed a large number of structures associated to the practices of cremation, adding to an initial corpus of tombs excavated in the 1970's, prior to the development of archaeothanatological protocols. This new data has enabled us to draw up an initial summary of what we know about this practice, raising new questions about similarities or differences with other Mediterranean contexts dating from the Roman period. Indeed, funerary practices in this island context seem to reflect the socio-cultural complexity of the different groups making up a cosmopolitan society, which is also documented by other aspects of archaeology (maritime exchanges, production methods, etc.).
