“…Coherent with these observations, slope deposits enriched in loess are preserved only above 9 m NGF on the Beg-an-Dorchenn Peninsula. These events are associated with sand drift, mostly during the second half of the 10th century, thus confirming the deduction of Giot and Monnier (1978).…”

Our study aims to understand the recurring climatic conditions prevailing during the largest storms reaching NW France (Brittany). These storms are responsible for the breaching of coastal barriers and major flooding of lowlands. In a first part of our work, we examine the morphological impact and stratigraphic record of storm events along Western Brittany rocky coasts, with a special focus on the southern coast of the Bay of Audierne, the most exposed coast of the region. In a second paper ('Middle-to Late-Holocene Storminess in Brittany (NW France): Part II'), we shall focus on the chronology of storm events and their climate forcing conditions. Drilling transects and stratigraphic analyses were first undertaken to constrain chronology, strength and wind direction during the main Holocene storm events. New dates, observations and a relative sea-level (RSL) curve were then used to inform discussion of the necessary climatic and morphologic conditions leading to destructive storm events. Most recorded events appear to be linked with cooling episodes of the Holocene and a RSL close to present. Some storms are clearly responsible for breaching and dune building or remobilisation. We demonstrate that storm frequency and intensity appear to rise in a stepwise manner during the late Holocene. Maximum efficiency is reached during the 'Little Ice Age' with clustered events probably lasting several days, but major storms also occurred immediately prior to the 'Medieval Warm Period'. We suggest that recent coastal dune building from c. ad 1100 until now, despite a sea level close to present and continuously rising, may be a direct consequence of the restoration of beaches after periods of recurrent storminess. This building activity often occurred during dry negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) events, in connection with the available sedimentary supply.

“…Consequently, in order to achieve the composition of the Parisian scrap bronze, cast vessels shall have been mixed with a metal containing much more tin than lead, and small quantities of arsenic and antimony. Bell bronze might have been a good candidate with its circa 20 wt% tin and less than 1 wt% lead and relatively low As and Sb (Bayley et al, 1993;Drescher, 1992;Dungworth and Maclean, 2002;Giannichedda et al, 2005;Giot and Monnier, 1978;Neri, 2004). Only zinc is missing.…”

“…Medieval copper metallurgy in Western Europe has long been studied at an analytical level through the sole perspective of museum collections, thus concentrating mostly on ecclesiastical ornaments (Werner, 1982;Oddy et al, 1986;De Ruette, 1996), or specific items such as statuary (Riederer, 1980(Riederer, , 1983(Riederer, , 1985Laub, 1993;Hachenberg, 2006), aquamaniles, funeral tabs, cannons, bells or monumental castings (Cameron, 1974;Tylecote, 1976;Giot and Monnier, 1978;Forshell, 1984;Drescher, 1992;Bayley et al, 1993;Neri, 2004;Giannichedda et al, 2005;Dandridge, 2006;Bellendorf, 2007). Though very valuable, the information supplied by these analytical studies has only been concerned with a minor part of medieval copper production, while omitting all aspects of the production of day-to-day domestic items.…”

“…Le chanfrein interne au niveau du col apparaît à Créac'h-Gwen (Menez et Batt, 1988) . Ce caractère n'est pas exclusivement local puisqu'il se retrouve ailleurs en Bretagne : à Tinténiac en Ille-et-Vilaine (Provost, 1989) ou à Saint-Urnel en Plomeur dans le Finistère (Giot et Monnier, 1978). Le petit vase à anses, sans chanfrein, de la fosse S. 304 ne dépareille pas la série car des récipients identiques sont recensés à Quimper (Créac'h-Gwen et Quistinidal) pour les ix e -x e siècles.…”

Excavation on an early medieval rural settlement and workshop at 22 rue Bourg-les-Bourgs, Quimper (Finistère) Jean-François Villard * Résumé : Une opération de fouille préventive réalisée rue Bourg-les-Bourgs à Quimper, dans un contexte antique bien connu, met au jour les structures inédites d'un petit établissement rural daté de la i n du haut Moyen Âge, entre le ix e et le milieu du xi e siècle. Celui-ci, appréhendé partiellement par l'emprise des fouilles, se caractérise par la présence de fossés d'enclos, de structures de stockage et de combustion, ainsi que de fosses aux fonctions diverses. Parmi ces vestiges, se distingue un secteur artisanal stratii é dédié à la métallurgie (activités de réduction de fer). L'analyse des structures, alliée à l'étude céramique, permet de déi nir l'évolution chronologique et spatiale de l'établissement. Ce dernier peut être mis en relation avec des sites contemporains situés autour du bassin de l'Odet et s'intégrer à l'Histoire quimpéroise.
