Flint mining during the Neolithic in the Pays d’Othe (Aube) and the Marais de Saint-Gond (Marne): from extraction systems to distribution systems
The mining phenomenon, which appeared in Europe
in the Mesolithic, took on a new scope from the end of the 5th millennium BC. In this paper, we aim to take a new look at two mining complexes located to th...
We present and model new radiocarbon data for the Neolithic marshes of Marais de Saint-Gond Marne in France. We then provide the first radiocarbon-based synthesis of human activity in this region. The earliest flint mine pits dug in France were dated to between 7518 and 7356 cal BC (95% probability) in the Mesolithic period. A Neolithic sequence of...
A conserved painting removed from a Neolithic collective grave in Marne, France, provided an opportunity for radiocarbon dating to place Les Ronces Hypogeum 21 (Villevenard) into the chronology of that region. Chemical analysis with direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromat...
The study focuses on river dynamics and vegetation changes during the last Glacial-Interglacial transition from a headwater stream located in the eastern part of the Paris Basin. We adopt a spatial multiproxy approach combining image analyses, geophysical surveys, sedimentary and pollen record analyses to document the impact of Lateglacial climate...
The hypogeum necropolises of Saran/Les Tombeaux in Chouilly (51, Marne) have been the subject of many publications. No synthesis exists of the successive discoveries made between 1806 and 1956. The existing literature and archives concerning the hypogeum necropolises of La Grifaine and Les Ronds Buissons in Chouilly (Marne) were compiled to provide...

From the earliest Neolithic in the Near East to the last Chalcolithic cultures in Western Europe, certain flint tools have been used as sickles to harvest cereals. Such harvesting tools can be identified through use-wear analyses, because the cutting of herbaceous plants produces specific wear-traces on the working edge of flint blades. The aim of...
Impulsé par la Direction des patrimoines (Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication), le bilan scientifique régional 1994-2005 s'est traduit, pour la Préhistoire bourguignonne, par un volumineux travail de synthèse collective, associant la majorité des chercheurs concernés. Bien qu'elle ait traîné en longueur, cette rédaction a permis de nombr...
Une fouille archéologique de 1,11 ha sur la commune de Fontvannes (Aube), dans le Pays d'Othe, a permis la découverte des premiers vestiges datés du Néolithique ancien dans ce secteur : une maison de tradition rubanée a été reconnue, ainsi que plusieurs fosses et poteaux dispersés. L'attribution chronologique ne repose que sur des datations radioca...
Abstract: Late Neolithic palisade and buildings with a square ground-plan in the Champagne area: the “Le Brabant” settlement at Condé-sur-Marne (Marne)
The excavations conducted in 2001 and 2009 in the Marne valley at Condé-sur-Marne “le
Brabant” (Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France) revealed several occupation phases, covering a total area of 8753 m...
A partir des nouvelles données publiées dans cet ouvrage et des études thématiques menées dans le cadre du Programme Collectif de Recherche "Du Néolithique récent à l'Âge du Bronze ancien dans le Centre-Nord de la France" (2001-2008), cet article final propose une image synthétique du Néolithique récent dans le Bassin parisien.
In the southern and eastern area of the Côte d'Île-de-France, north of the marshes of Saint-Gond (Marne, France), research incorporating a great deal of unpublished documentation, and the results of pedestrian and aerial surveys, has highlighted five flint mines. For various reasons, the many indications of mining activity in this region have never...
From the new data published in this work and thematic studies led within the framework of the Collective Program of Research “From the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in the Centre-Nord of France” (2001-2008), this final article proposes a synthetic picture of the Recent Neolithic in Paris Basin. The confrontation of the data leads to specif...
Le Néolithique final. Les faits. Les matériaux organiques et minéraux.
The collective work carried out since 2001 within the framework of a Programme Collectif de Recherche (PCR) on the Late Neolithic and the beginning of the Bronze Age in the central part of northern France leads today to a new periodisation in 8 stages for the period between 3600 and 1800 BC. Although several gaps remain, particularly for the transi...
The region of Morvan, in particular the granitic massif, forms a very large geographic area of which the prehistoric remains largely unknown. The situation regarding the zone lying between Morvan massif and the adjacent Serein, Arroux, A leine and Yonne valleys is very different. The lithic industry of several sites in Upper Morvan has demonstrated...
As a great many technical operations are involved in the creation of pottery, it is often difficult to discover precisely in what order they were used in the "chaînes opératoires". The determination of the state of drying is an essential step in rediscovering the archaeological chaîne opératoire. An experimental method is developed to identify burn...
The detailed technical analysis of a remarkable Hoguette type pot, attributed to the 54th-53rd centuries B.C., demonstrates that the diffusion of a new technique, that of pottery, is tied to specific types of know-how. The production of such pots, whose use for ostentatious display has been demonstrated, was probably in the hands of skilled potters...

Critical re-examination of all categories of finds attributed to the “Seine- Oise-Marne” suggests the existence of different regional facies in the Late Neolithic of central northern France. Faced with this typological, geographical and probably also chronological diversity, it is proposed to abandon the term « Seine-Oise-Marne », notably because t...
Many authors have considered pottery manufacturing constraints and sociocultural elements as factors in change in past civilizations over time. The main issue of this research is to better understand the reasons for changes, or choices, in pottery raw materials. The very precise and detailed stratigraphy and cultural succession of occupations is ba...
