International audience; Les trois occupations du Bronze ancien font l’objet de cette cinquième monographie consacrée à la station littorale de Concise. L’architecture des villages datés par la dendrochronologie entre 1801 et 1773 av. J.-C. pour le premier (E11), 1646 et 1620 av. J.-C. pour le deuxième (E12) et 1618 et 1570 av.

Consequently, a layout similar to the Greek colonization model of the Mediterranean coast is proposed
