Title

A technical adaptation? Shell dye extraction on the eve of the roman conquest in Gaul (Port-Blanc, Hoedic island, France)

Abstract

Islands are variously interpreted either as areas closed in on themselves or open to different horizons, depending on the point of view. Excavations at the Port-Blanc site, on Hoedic Island, dated to the Iron Age, record both these aspects in the northwest of France, from the Middle La Tène to the end of the Final La Tène. They shed light on the evolution of this settlement, from its installation to its abandonment. The inclusion of faunal remains from the outset of the excavation allows to describe a varied exploitation of animals, including mammals, fish, birds, crustaceans and marine molluscs. The latter are the subject of this article.
