Depots et production metallique du Bronze moyen en France nord-occidentale (French, Paperback)

For many years prehistorians have talked of a rather unique set of relations between communities living along the Atlantic coast of Europe during the Bronze Age. This study attempts to contribute to debates about such connections through analysing the development of metal production and extra-regional exchange in north-west France during the Middle Bronze Age. Gabillot's extensive examination of over one thousand metal objects (listed in the catalogue arranged by regional area) includes typologies of various object types, as well as discussions of assemblages and their chronological implications. His findings identify a thriving and diversifying metal industry throughout the Middle Bronze Age with an influence that extended along the Atlantic coast. A large corpus of maps, figures and tables present the raw data. French text.
