Abstract
This chapter examines the rural organization of Iron Age societies within northern Gaul. It focuses on the structure of settlements and their related territories, in particular exploring the place of the individual, the family, and local communities within the wider landscape. First, it discusses the three different forms of domestic units present in North-western Europe, their location, and their spatial organization. Secondly, it demonstrates how the landscape was organized during the Hallstatt and early La Tène periods (800–275 bc). The third section considers changes that took place during the third century bc, the emergence of stabilized settlement patterns, and the new socials interactions that these new forms of settlement imply.
