2013
In the so-called information (and knowledge) society, quality information is, more than ever, an indispensable and inalienable public good for any citizen who wants to exercise his or her civic and political rights. Because of this, we need to have reliable (rigorous and autonomous) communication media, which disseminate relevant and quality information.

Mesolithic pit-sites in Champagne (France): First data, key issues

This unexpected but apparently common type of site clearly implies a more marked territoriality and a greater social complexity than generally proposed for the period in continental northern France.
