Abstract

Hoedic island, in southern Brittany, hosts many remains from recent prehistory. Known by the discovery in the 1930s of a Mesolithic necropolis, the island received a very strong imprint from the first manifestation of the Neolithic culture. Numerous megalithic monuments have been implanted there, the most original being menhir alignments. One of these alignments has recently been excavated and the discoveries bring to question the origin of this phenomenon, its chronocultural context, the techniques used and, overall, to consider the meaning of these stones alignments with a new insight.
