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.
Éléments probants, chronologie, échelle communautaire, organisation politique et connexions
Fleuves, côtes, paysages, mobilité, frontières et échange
Coasts, islands, wetlands, farms, stone sources, paths, and intervisible monuments shaped a long-lived landscape.
Organisation politique et échelle communautaire
Large-scale labor and repeated monument use are evident, but one centralized authority, people, or religion is not demonstrated.
Contextes romanos, altomedievales, de patrimoine vivant et réception moderne
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.

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.
