While common and even iconic in the field of Prehistory, excavations in caves or rock-shelters are very rare in the Armorican Massif for the final Palaeolithic and Mesolithic. Why are these sites largely ignored by research in this part of France, when they form the basis of archaeological work in other parts of Europe? Are rock-shelters...

Le passage du monde des chasseurs - collecteurs à celui des agriculteurs - éleveurs constitue un des bouleversements majeurs de l'histoire de l'humanité. En Europe occidentale, on sait que l'apparition du Néolithique renvoie à un vaste mouvement de propagation depuis un foyer originel proche oriental. Cette diffusion, multiforme et arythmique,...

The site of Chaloignes (Mozé-sur-Louet, Maine-et-Loire) was excavated in 1999 over surface of 9200 m2. This work led to the first description of a complex habitat of the Final Palaeolithic on the Armorican Massif and clarified our image of Azilian technical choices. The immediate environment was strongly influenced by the Loire River, with 10...
