During the excavation of the megalithic alignments of Renaghju (Southern Corsica), the remains of an Early Neolithic Cardial settlement were discovered at the base of the stratigraphy. An important proportion of the settlement has been investigated, a particularly rare example for both Corsica and the Midi region. This preliminary publication presents the site stratigraphy and the production and dwelling structures found there, which are at present still undergoing study. Resituated in the Corsican and Mediterranean early Neolithic context, Renaghju should make an important contribution to improving our knowledge concerning the Car- dial culture on the island and the Néolithisation process in the Tyrrhenian area.

ABSTRACT Discovered during the last century, the Audrieu burial is one of the few individual graves with polished axes known in northern France. Its date, difficult to specify, can be estimated, by typological comparisons only, to the middle Neolithic (ca. 5600-4800 BP). In this case, it would be more or less contemporary with the first monumental burials (Passy- type or older passage graves).

ABSTRACT Excavations of the collective burial at Lacroix-Saint-Ouen have, for the first time, revealed a wooden funerary monument in which lithic elements play a secondary role. Research has revealed the main elements : longitudinal wooden pieces (ground sills) and transversal ones (floor supports, spacers for the longitudinal sills, posts, floor). Continuing analysis opens perspectives regarding proposed reconstitutions of the monument.
