Author Information

Yvan Pailler defended his PhD in 2004 at the University of Western Brittany (UBO, Brest) on the theme of the emergence of Neolithic in Brittany by interrogating especially polished stone objects. From 2005 to 2007, he completed a first post-doctorate at the Department of Archaeology at National Museums Scotland where he worked on the appearance of the Neolithic in Great Britain and Ireland and its links with the continent and is interested in parallel production of polished stone blades socially valued. In 2007, he began a second post-doc (CNRS) of three years as part of the ANR Jade 1 program directed by P. Pétrequin. Since 2010, he has been recruited as scientific officer for archaeological operations at the French National Institute for Rescue Archaeology (Inrap), as Neolithic specialist. He is also a member of the Trajectoires laboratory, UMR 8215 (co-supervised Paris 1 / CNRS). He has directed many archaeological operations (excavations, diagnoses and surveys); he is also involved in several research programs (PCR Bronze in Brittany, ANR Jade 2, etc.). Hosted since 2013 in LETG laboratory (UMR 6554) at the European Institute for Marine Studies (IUEM, Plouzané), he develops interdisciplinary projects around human / environmental relations and teaches Prehistory at UBO. Clément Nicolas is a postdoctoral researcher at the laboratory UMR 8215 Trajectoires (Nanterre, France). His researches focus on the first metalworking societies during the IIIrd and the IInd millennia BCE in Europe. As lithic specialist, he led studies on productions and functions of fancy archery-related items (arrowheads, bracers and so on) in several countries in order to track their biographies and their relations to social hierarchies: in France, Britain and Denmark during his PhD, in Central Europe as a postdoctoral fellow of the Foundation Fyssen. He works as well on the questions of craftsmanship and Atlantic exchange networks through the studies of a range of grave goods (metal artefacts, jewellery). In the meanwhile, he developed a field approach in Brittany leading or participating to several surveys and excavations on Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods. These researches aim to study the territories and the structures of human settings (graves, settlements, field systems…) to provide a better understanding of the rise of highly stratified societies. Recently with Sidestone Press (2016), he published his PhD on prestigious arrowheads ‘Flèches de pouvoir à l’aube de la métallurgie de la Bretagne au Danemark (2500-1700 av. n. è.).
