Abstract. The castle of Coatfrec is a medieval castle in Brittany constituting merely a few remaining ruins currently in the process of restoration. Beyond its great archeological interest, it has become, over the course of the last few years, the subject of experimentation in digital archeology. Methods of 3D scanning were implored in order to gauge comparisons between the remaining structures and their absent hypothetical ones, resulting in the first quantitative results of its kind. This paper seeks to introduce the methods which carried out said research, as well as to present the subsequent results obtained using these new digital tools.

Le Guildo castle is situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the upper estuary of the River Arguenon. Since 1995, excavations hâve been carriedout in association with the présentation of the site to the public. The médiéval castle suffered numerous transformations, due mainly to installation of artillery during the 16th century. The consolidation of the remparts (the earthfill ofthe lower rooms) contained a homogeneous but varied series of artefacts. Three archaeological contexts were selected for artefact analysis, the choice being based on the quality, homogeneity and chronological precision (due to the présence of coins). The non-ceramic artefacts (glass and metals) confirm the chronology by comparison with other excavated contexts in northern France. The study of ceramics is based on a technical and typological approach. From thisfirst catalogue of artefacts in use during this period in Brittany, a discussion is engaged concerning the commercial links and the supply of this coastal site.

Ont été successivement menés l'examen diachronique des sources écrites (XIV e -XX e s.), les prospections et études des environnements géologique et archéologique, la fouille de sites potiers carolingiens (Meudon à Vannes, Planguenoual) ou des XI e -XII e s. (Fontenay à Chartres-de-Bretagne) ; celle-ci était axée sur l'ensemble des structures des ateliers et non pas seulement sur les fours, et l'analyse des productions (analyse morphologique, caractérisation pétrographique, datation par archéomagnétisme). Cette recherche, nourrie par des réflexions méthodologiques, a fait l'objet de dix contributions qui reflètent la diversité des approches et renouvellent l'histoire des ateliers et centres potiers de la région Bretagne.A research project carried out between 1984 et 1989 permitted a multidisciplinary approach to the problem of the history of medieval pottery production centres in Brittany to be studied by a dialogue between history, archeology and archaeometry. Diachronic studies of the written sources (XIVth-XXth centuries), fieldwork and studies of the geological and archeological environment were systematically carried out, the excavation of two Carolingian production sites (Meudon near Vannes and Plangueuoual, Côtes-d'Armor) or from XIth-XIIth centuries (Fontenay in Chartres-de-Bretagne); these being axed on sise totality of the workshop structures and not only on the kilns, the analysis of the products (morphological analysis, petrographical characterisation and archaeomagnetic dating). This research, feed by methodological techniques, comprises ten contributions each reflecting the diverse approaches and the renewal of interest in the history of pottery workshops and centres rti Brittany.
