Résumé : L’économie d’un territoire insulaire est un thème encore peu exploré sur la façade Manche-Atlantique, et ce plus spécialement dans le cadre de l’installation des sociétés agropastorales et de leurs dynamiques d’approvisionnement. Aborder une recherche de cet ordre implique une série de questionnements (Audouard, 2014) : – les ressources de...

" Somewhere Beyond The Sea " Les îles bretonnes (France): perspectives archéologiques, géographiques et historiques "Somewhere Beyond The Sea" The islands of Brittany (France): an archaeological, geographical and historical point of view

Résumé Cet article vise à préciser la contribution de l’archéologie à l’étude des dynamiques insulaires, sur la base de l’analyse de l’évolution culturelle et du peuplement (insularité vs contacts) combinée à des approches environnementales de l’évolution des paysages côtiers. D’un point de vue méthodologique, un tel processus est basé sur une appr...

The aim of this article is to take stock of the characteristics of occupation of the islands of Brittany by questioning the existence of particularities in terms of what is observed on the nearby mainland, from the early Neolithic to the early Bronze Age. This article is based on the results of different approaches, including doctoral research on t...

This article considers the economic organisation of the first agro-pastoral societies of the islands of Brittany (Figure 1), drawing on the results of recent research (Audouard 2014). Key questions are concerned with whether the resources of these islands—both terrestrial and marine—required lifestyle adaptations.

The Molène archipelago appears to be particularly rich in Neolithic and Bronze Age remains and an exceptional concentration of megaliths has been brought to light. Several settlements are confirmed by dry-stone structures or by shell middens. These data give precious indications on the occupation chronology of the area. Moreover they allow for the...

The subject of this thesis is to address the economic operation of the first agro-pastoral societies on the islands from the Channel / Atlantic coasts of France, from the late Mesolithic to the early Bronze Age. The resources of these islands, both limited (exploitable surface reduced, complex hunting gestion) and various (terrestrial and marine re...
