Mapping Memory: Necropolis Layout at Saint‑Denis
A spatial reading of tomb organization: axes, clusters, and dynastic adjacency in Saint‑Denis’s necropolis.

Tombs assemble into clusters along axes. Adjacency encodes dynastic ties; visibility sets hierarchies. Layout is a narrative diagram of power and memory.
🗺️ Spatial Notes
- Central cluster: High dynasty anchors sight.
- Peripheral rings: Extended lineages and courtiers.
- Processional crossing: Memory meets ritual.
| Zone | Figure Type | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Kings/queens | Authority |
| Mid ring | Princes | Continuity |
| Outer | Courtiers | Service |
Layout is narrative made spatial.
