Abstract
Continued underwater research in the bed of the Charente river in 2001 and 2002 has revealed abundant new information of great interest: artefacts from the Early, Middle and Late Neolithic, Bronze Age and First Iron Age, some showing characteristics previously unknown in the region; faunal remains including those of an aurochs; etc. New C14 dates have been obtained for wooden structures in the river. These diachronic discoveries should probably, at least for a certain number of them, be set in relation to sites on the river bank, so far unidentified. The high potential of underwater research in the Charente region for recent Prehistory and Protohistory is thus confirmed.
