The third sentence regarding living places is a little unclear. Did the center not have inhabitants? Or did it not have suitable accomodation for its inhabitants?
The article says there is a depiction of the Buddha, which I think might be vandalism in reference to the picture at right. The caption says that it's a warrior. We need verification — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.147.154.21 ( talk) 21:56, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Roquepertuse has never had any regular inhabitants, being occupied by priests only. The sanctuary did belong to the Celtic tribe living near Entremont, a capital city in those days. Entremont however has been destroyed in the same year of Roquepertuses destruction. The Celtic tribe was not allowed to rebuild the sanctuary and the city. The Romans however founded a new (Roman) city near Entremont (->> Aix-en-Provence).
therefore it can probably be expanded somewhat from there, although I am not up for much translation right this second. As an additional search term though, apparently these people were "sallien" or "salyan". There are some more images; I'll bring those over to this page for now.

just did a somewhat extensive copy edit, all of which is of course discussable. The two items I can think of which might be debatable are 1) the article said the column "had" cavities, but based on the photo they still do, so I changed that to "have" 2) the references to "Buddha-like position" are distracting imho. French says "seated in tailor positiones", which I don't think they conveys much in English, so I made it "crossed-legged". Turns out the French article only has two references; I am bringing the second one over now. I will take a look at the Catalan, which is possibly the version this was.translated from.
