Du Néolithique récent à l'âge du Bronze dans le Centre Nord de la France : les étapes de l'évolution chrono-culturelle

Old bones or early graves? Megalithic burial sequences in southern Sweden based on 14C datings

“…If instead some of the gallery graves in Västergötland are considered to be constructed already in the EN/MN, then the parallels observed between gallery graves in northern France and Germany make more sense. The WBK and SOM graves are dated to 3400 to 2700 cal BC, although many of them were reused in later times, some of the SOM graves were used to about 2000 cal BC (Guilaine 2011: 85;Müller 1998;Salanova et al 2011). Kaelas (1967) stressed the similarities of the Västergötland gallery graves to the gallery graves dug into the ground from the Paris Basin and to the graves above ground in Brittany.…”

What are large‐scale Archaeometric programmes for? Bell beaker pottery and societies from the third millennium BC in Western Europe

“…This is the case in western central France, where at least 421 Bell Beakers are currently known (Salanova et al . ), and the Paris Basin, which has provided around the same number (Salanova et al . ).…”

From one ritual to another: the long-term sequence of the Bury gallery grave (northern France, fourth–second millennia BC)

“…Some of these sites have been interpreted as places dedicated to specialised activities for a larger community (Joseph et al 2011). The second break, around 2400 BC, observed both at Bury and in the regional sequence, was marked by the development of the Bell Beaker group (Salanova et al 2011). Bell Beaker domestic contexts are poorly preserved, but are mainly characterised by settlements of short duration in specific positions in the landscape (Salanova 2000).…”
