Grand-Pressigny flint production and exchange networks
Le Grand-Pressigny
Large flint blades, workshops, extraction zones, and far-reaching finds illuminate specialized Late Neolithic production and exchange.
Evidence, chronology, community scale, political organization, and connections
Rivers, coasts, landscapes, mobility, frontiers, and exchange
Flint sources connected local settlements with exchange networks without defining ethnic territory.
Political organization and community scale
Specialized knowledge and exchange are visible, while authority and political affiliation remain uncertain.
Roman, early-medieval, living-heritage, and modern reception
Museum stewardship interprets evidence independently of ancestry claims.
Technical similarity does not prove common ethnicity.
Objects can move through many forms of exchange and reuse.
No centralized authority or fixed social class is demonstrated.

Exchange networks
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.
