An in-depth study of Neolithic material and sites from western
France that answers many questions in terms of the neolithization
of Europe and future developments in the British Isles. This volume
presents a new perspective on the neolithisation of the Armorican
Massif, based on an examination of lithic material and its spatial
ordering. The emphasis is on the detection of sites where raw
material was extracted, and of workshops where bangles and stone
axeheads (especially those of fibrolite) were manufactured; this
allows the author to investigate the 'chaines operatoires' involved
and their spatial organisation. The author places the conclusions
of this research within a broader consideration of the evidence
relating to the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition process in
Armorica, and considers ways in which aspects of this process
correlate wiht, and others diverge from, the cultural dynamics of
the fifth millennium BC in the northern half of France. The
approach adopted here, with its emphasis on the propduction and
modes of diffusion of bangles and axeheads has the potential for
more general application to the study of 'socially valorised
artefacts' elsewhere in Continental Europe. French text.
