Carnac and Morbihan megalithic landscapes
Mégalithes de Carnac et des rives du Morbihan
Alignments, stelae, cairns, passage graves, deposits, and coastal landscapes document long-term Neolithic monument building and reuse.
Evidence, chronology, community scale, political organization, and connections
Rivers, coasts, landscapes, mobility, frontiers, and exchange
Coasts, islands, wetlands, farms, stone sources, paths, and intervisible monuments shaped a long-lived landscape.
Political organization and community scale
Large-scale labor and repeated monument use are evident, but one centralized authority, people, or religion is not demonstrated.
Roman, early-medieval, living-heritage, and modern reception
Local and national institutions steward the monuments; they cannot establish modern Breton identity or ancestry.
The landscape is not one event or homogeneous culture.
One marker cannot represent every monument.
Architecture cannot establish language or ancestry.

- No locally written language corpus
Sprachfamilie: Unknown from Neolithic archaeology
Standing-stone alignments
Diverse funerary architecture
Two millennia of construction and reuse
Cave deposits, monuments, weapons, inscriptions, fortifications, churches, ports, and elite graves are more visible than women, children, farmers, miners, fishers, craftspeople, migrants, soldiers, captives, enslaved or dependent people, and rural households. Evidence gaps must not be filled with ethnic purity, nationalist continuity, foreign-builder, lost-civilization, or simple population-replacement narratives.
