Diversités technologiques et convergences économiques et culturelles au Mésolithique : une lecture détaillée à travers l’industrie de Creac’h Miné Vihan (Finistère, France) [Technologies diversities and socio-economic convergence of behaviours during the Mesolithic: A detailed reading through the industry of Creac'h Mine Vihan (Finistere, France)]
Abstract
The second phase of the Mesolithic in Western France and Brittany, principally the Teviecian (5500-5000 cal. BP), is supposed to be a period of degradation of the harmonious relations existing in the past between populations occupying this territory and or external contemporaneous human groups. The distinction between goods in ultramylonites/cataclasites and flint from the occupation of Creac'h Mine Vihan reveals that this period is characterized by the development of diverse methods of production, in relation with rocks structural, physical and quantitative facilities given by rocks exploited. This new vision seems to reorient our understanding of the impact of a restriction of relations between autochthonous and or allochthonous populations, on the transmission, modification and evolution of technological capacities.
