This paper offers a synthesis of the urbanism and architecture of Pech Maho (Sigean) from a social and economic point of view. Its aim is to highlight the specificities of this settlement in the context of the Late Iron Age between south France and north-east Spain. During the third century BC, this small site had an impressive defensive system, as well as quite a complex urban framework. The constructed blocks excavated so far show a predominance of multicellular buildings that testify to a wide range of ground plans. Most of the spaces seem to have been devoted to specialized activities of a clear economic orientation, whilst other buildings or spaces have a strong symbolic nature. Rooms used exclusively for domestic tasks are in the minority, while a large dwelling in the central area appears to have been a private residential unit. All of this suggests that Pech Maho would have been an economic centre, as well as the residence of an elite that would have exerted control over the productive and trading activities, in a context that clearly evokes that of an emporion.

公元前三世纪Pech Maho（法国，法国）的坚固住区中的建筑和城市主义：一种社会和经济观点

本文从社会和经济的角度对Pech Maho（瑞典）的城市主义和建筑进行了综合。其目的是在法国南部和西班牙东北部之间的铁器时代晚期的背景下，突出此定居点的特殊性。在公元前三世纪，这个小地方拥有令人印象深刻的防御体系，以及相当复杂的城市框架。到目前为止，已开挖的建筑块显示出大量的多单元建筑，可证明各种地面计划。大部分空间似乎都致力于明确的经济方向的专门活动，而其他建筑物或空间则具有强烈的象征性。专用于家务的房间占少数，而中心地区的一所大住宅似乎是私人住宅。
