The people of the dunes
Summary
On a beach in Normandy, unprecedented archaeological discoveries lead a team of archaeologists on the trail of a Celtic people whose culture seems to differ from that of their neighbors in the rest of Gaul. Under the fine sand, exceptionally well-preserved remains are gradually resurfacing. Time is running out before sea erosion will forever destroy the last traces of the life of the men and women who lived here between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Little by little, the investigation allows to get an idea of the way of life of this people of the seaside and the links that they maintained with the Mediterranean world and with the populations of the island of Brittany, the current England. .
