| Summary: | Italians migrated to Provence long before the Industrial Revolution and the inflow of transalpine workers in the 19th and 20th centuries.

While archaelogy rarely addressed these societal issues in any other way than through material culture, the recent nature of these two cemeteries (16th-20th centuries) allow for a broader discussion across the social sciences. |
