Matières premières lithiques en Corse néolithique : étude de cas

more
Provenance studies of artefacts raw materials for three Corsican Neolithic sites, Renaghju (VIe millenium cal BC), Monte Revincu and Vasculacciu (Ve millenium) show that significant differences affect the relative abundances between the four major lithic varieties (local quartz and rhyolite, Sardinian obsidian and flint), their procurement modalities and their origins. In addition to the well identified Corso-Sardinian contacts sphere, the presence of two polished axes at Mont Revincu attests of relationships with the continental Italy during the Middle Neolithic, between 4300 and 4000 cal BC.

more
Our understanding of the production, distribution and use of Neolithic axeheads, adzeheads and chisels made of jadeitite and other rare Alpine rockshas been transformed by a major international French-led research project, Project JADE. This has systematically recorded and mapped all such objects longer than 135 mm across Europe - extending its coverage to all artefacts of Alpine rock in Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands, irrespective of length - and collating information about contexts, dating and depositional practices at a pan-European scale. The research has involved a remarkable amount of work 'behind the scenes' in museums and private collections across the continent. This has led to new discoveries and to the challenging of old provenances and associations. Focusing on the results for Britain and Ireland, this paper highlights the new information that has been obtained on well-known examples and shows what else has been learnt from the project: the additional specimens, the remarkable stories of individual objects, and the need to be able to recognise 'false friends' - ethnographical objects and Neolithic specimens from elsewhere in Europe, collected by antiquaries.

more
Three areas of axehead production have been identified in the Swiss Alps and in the Pyrenees, thanks to a study of debitage associated with field prospection. These three production areas provided material for exchange at a regional scale, probably from the beginning of the Vth millenium until to the beginning of the third.

more
As it appears in diverse guises – and notably as a founding narrative – the past is at the core of every functioning human society. The idea that the past can be known through scientific research has long been a fundamental challenge for western societies and for European researchers, from all disciplines concerned. Through more than four decades of outward-looking archaeological practice, the scholar, teacher and intellectual Jean-Paul Demoule has elaborated a truly global approach to European cultures and their transformations, spanning from the social inequality in Neolithic times to Indo European research to contemporary links between heritage and politics. His colleagues – British, Bulgarians, Czechs, Danes, Dutch, French, Germans, North-Americans, Spaniards, Swiss and Russians – seek to extend and enrich his vision. With contributions (written in French and in English) spanning from prehistory to the modern world, they bring in this volume new insights and data to such issues ...

In Moravia, the presence of several jadeitite axeheads has been known since the 1880s. As part of JADE 2, a specific research project was undertaken in the south-eastern part of central Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary), as a result of which the total number of Alpine imports has now risen to 66.

Le projet ANR JADE 2 (2013-2017) concerne l'ensemble de l'Europe – entre Atlantique et mer Noire – ou les transferts de jades ont ete alimentes par deux centres de production : l'ile egeenne de Syros des la fin du VIIe millenaire ; et les massifs alpins du Mont Beigua et du Mont Viso a partir du milieu du VIe millenaire. Cette synthese vise a eclairer les valeurs sociales qui sous-tendaient la circulation des haches et des anneaux-disques alpins, dans un reseau qui couvrait 3 200 km d’est en ouest. La demarche est fondee sur la comparaison entre les interpretations ideelles des producteurs (Piemont) et l'imaginaire social des receveurs lointains, dans les marges de l'Europe neolithique.
Disc-rings of Alpine rock in western Europe: typology, chronology, distribution and social significance

more
In France, disc-rings made from Alpine jades and from serpentinite circulated over very long distances, as far as the Channel coast and that of Brittany. The authors offer here a typo-chronological study of these and other stone bangles, according to the types of rock used, and consider their distribution and their social significance. Two geological source areas are identified: the Inner Alps (where disc-rings of regular shape were made, and whose rocks were the first to be exploited, from around 5300 BC at the latest) and the upper Rhine, where cobbles from the riverbed were gathered and used to make disc-rings of irregular shape from the beginning of the fifth millennium. Exactly like the circulation of the long jade adze-heads of Begude type, that of the disc-rings of Alpine rock was underpinned by the belief systems of their users. That these objects were linked to the world of mythology is clear from the representations that were carved on monumental standing stones and on rock...
