Based on various archaeometric approaches, this book sets out to investigate paleo-economic relations between islands and main-land groups through ceramic production, from the Neolithic to the Roman period in western France.
Ce livre est consacré à la recherche sur le développement de la production et des échanges céramiques entre le continent et les îles de Bretagne, du Néolithique à la période gallo-romaine. L'analyse archéométrique de la céramique est utilisée pour explorer le développement des réseaux de communication: la circulation des personnes et des produits entre les îles et le continent. Ces îles produisaient-elles leur propre poterie ou étaient-elles dépendantes de la production continentale? En déterminant si la poterie a été produite ou importée localement, il est possible d'identifier les degrés variables de connexion ou d'isolement avec des réseaux plus larges. Plusieurs méthodes d'analyse ont été utilisées pour examiner 368 tessons de poterie provenant de 25 sites. Des observations macroscopiques ont été effectuées afin de documenter les traitements de surface, ainsi que l'examen microscopique de coupes céramiques minces pour l'identification de la composition minéralogique de l'argile et pour déterminer ses origines géologiques et géographiques. Ces techniques ont été complétées par des analyses chimiques: SEM-EDS, XR-D et P-XRF. Enfin, une nouvelle approche méthodologique a été utilisée pour la provenance des argiles: l'analyse LA-ICP-MS. Cette méthode est basée sur des comparaisons chimiques des inclusions minérales dans les pâtes céramiques avec les mêmes types de minéraux dans les roches mères. Elle permet de déterminer plus précisément les origines des argiles, surtout lorsque les pâtes n'offrent pas d'éléments caractéristiques qui permettent de les distinguer des autres productions. La longue portée chronologique de cette étude nous permet de documenter l'évolution des caractéristiques céramiques et les lieux changeants de l'approvisionnement en argile et de la production de poterie. Les résultats de cette recherche apportent de nouvelles preuves de l'occupation préhistorique des îles bretonnes. English Abstract Sea, ceramics and islands in western France: archaeometric approach to paleo-economic relations of island populations from the Neolithic to Antiquity This book is about research on the development of ceramic production and exchange between the mainland and islands of Brittany from the Neolithic to the Gallo-Roman period. Archaeometric analysis of ceramics is used to explore the development of communication networks: the movement of people and of products between the islands and the mainland. Did these islands produce their own pottery or were they dependent on mainland production? By determining whether pottery was locally produced or imported, it is possible to identify the changing degrees of connection with, or isolation from, wider networks. Several analytical methods have been employed to examine 368 sherds of pottery from 25 sites. Macroscopic observations were made in order to document surface treatments, as well as microscopic examination of ceramic thin sections for the identification of the mineralogical composition of the clay, and to determine its geological and geographic origins. These techniques have been complemented with chemical analyses: SEM-EDS, XR-D and P-XRF. Finally, a new methodological approach has been used to provenance the clays: LA-ICP-MS analysis. This method is based on chemical comparisons of the mineral inclusions in the ceramic pastes with the same mineral types in the parent rocks. It can determine more precisely the origins of clays, especially when the pastes do not offer characteristic elements that allow them to be distinguished from other productions. The long chronological scope of this study allows us to document the evolution of ceramic characteristics and the changing locations of clay supply and pottery production. The results of this research provide new evidence about the prehistoric occupation of the islands of Brittany.
About the Author: Benjamin Gehres holds a doctorate in archaeology from the University of Rennes 2 (2016), and is an associate researcher at UMR 6566 CReAAH. He also holds a degree in geology from the Blaise-Pascal University of Clermont Ferrand (2007). His work focuses on pre and metal ages paleo-economic systems of the Atlantic coast through the study of ceramic raw materials (petrography, geochemistry) and their diffusion1. It also contributes to methodological developments in the discipline through the application of plasma mass spectrometry coupled to a laser ablation system (LA-ICP-MS) in the determination of raw material sources used by potters[2,3,4]. Finally, its work aims to improve understanding of the status of certain pottery productions in western France, whose clays are uncommon and have superior properties to other raw materials5. He joined the AUREUS project in 2017 as a post-doctoral fellow at IRAMAT-Centre Ernest-Babelon (UMR 5060). His research then focused on the production and diffusion of Roman, Celtic and Greek gold silver in the Western Mediterranean from chemical analyses by LA-ICP-MS. In 2018, he joined the ANR CIMO &«Ceramics Printed of the Western Mediterranean» for a post-doctorate at the CEMEF laboratory (UMR 7635) of the Ecole des Mines de Paris. The aim of this program is to seek to model the ancient Neolithic settlements in this region by studying the technical traditions of pottery making. In this context, his research aims to define the mechanical properties, plasticity and resistance to mounting of the earths used by potters of the Liguro-provençal arch.
