electronic version, pagination not known to date. Modern texts referring to death do not deal with funeral practices and the management of sepulcral space in rural areas. The archaeo-anthropological study on the inhumations of the St Pierre de Moirans church made it possible to make comparisons between different capels (sectors I, II, III, IV) and the choir (sector VII) from the point of view of recruitment and funeral practices (method of burial and space organisation). Analysis of funeral recruitment, carried out on individuals from sepultures and then integrating bones from fillings, indicates that the mortality profile is in line with the archaic mortality pattern in sectors I, II and IV. In these hats of the northern collaterals, children (even those who died in perinatal periods) were buried with adults and adolescents. This result supports the assumption of family chapels, as evidenced in the texts for that of sector IV. Another chapel is characterised by male dominance. It is attested by the texts that this is the place of sepulture of the penitent confrérie. The choir was not intended solely for clergy, since women and children of all ages were buried there. Certain rules such as the orientation of the grave and the burial in the brain, although homogenous, are sometimes circumvented for practical purposes relating to the management of space or the social status of the deceased.
