ABSTRACT
The wearing of cross-pendants was presumably widespread among both Oriental and Latin Christians. To this day, although the total number of cross-pendants firmly attributed to the period of the Crusades and uncovered during excavations remains unknown, they have been found in various contexts in domestic areas, in castles as well as in graves. The entire site is now threatened by the incursion of the sea, and the recent damage caused by the 2019 winter storms further demonstrates the urgent need for archaeological intervention and protection measures. The two pendants discovered during our 2019 season were found in Area 1, situated in the south-west part of the cemetery. Only one of them was found in a stratigraphical context: it was uncovered in grave S1SP24, which consists in a single primary burial marked on the surface by several stones, including a spolia.
