Les fouilles du Yaudet en Ploulec'h, Cotes-d'Armor, volume 3

This volume explores the archaeological significance of a site from AD 300 to today, detailing its transformation over centuries.

The third volume of the excavation reports provides an in-depth look at the history and archaeology of the Le Yaudet site, spanning from AD 300 to the present day. This volume meticulously documents the various phases of occupation and development that the site has undergone over the centuries. The promontory, strategically positioned overlooking the estuary of the river Léguer, saw reoccupation in the late fourth century, likely by a military contingent from Britain. This marks the beginning of a significant transformation of the site.

As the centuries progressed, the site evolved into an ecclesiastical center during the fifth to eighth centuries, reflecting the changing social and religious landscape of the time. The report delves into the archaeological findings that support this narrative, providing valuable insights into the materials and artifacts uncovered during the excavations. Furthermore, it details how the area transitioned into a village during the later medieval period, with a community forming around the chapel that became a focal point for local life.

Les fouilles du Yaudet en Ploulec'h, Cotes-d'Armor, volume 3 presents a comprehensive account of the archaeological and material evidence from these diverse periods. It serves as a crucial resource for understanding not only the site's historical significance but also the broader context of regional development in Brittany.
