"Breaking the Surface will be a disruption to traditional archaeological approaches to the prehistoric past. Having performed fieldwork on the early Neolithic pit-houses of southeastern Europe for over 20 years, the author aims to confront a major development in human history--digging, or the creation of holes. The book begins with a detailed examination of the extant remains of Neolithic pit-houses, the roofed dugout structures that are the earliest evidence for settled habitation in Europe. Rather than seek confirmation for what has already been theorized about their use (e.g., housing, storage, refuse), the author turns to the more specific actions of the people who dug these holes in the surface, and, more critically, to the consequences that those prehistoric actions had on those people's understanding of their place(s) in their ground worlds: how digging into the surface altered their perspectives of themselves and others, and of their world and of other worlds beyond the material and visible. The book turns to how scholars in other disciplines, such as philosophy and linguistic anthropology, have been asking similar questions about holes and the consequences of breaking and cutting. The resulting book offers comprehensive discussions of the philosophy of holes and perforations (particularly the paradox of a hole - does it exist, is it beyond materiality?), the linguistic anthropology of cut- and break-words (what diversity exists in the ways that extant communities talk and think about perforations and perforating), and the perceptual psychology of concavities (the case that holes attract our visual attentions)"--

Les habitats de l'âge du Bronze connus entre Île-de-France et Champagne ne sont le plus souvent que des petites fermes familiales sans clôture. Édifié en un lieu visible et accessible permettant de contrôler les allées et venues sur le fleuve voisin, le site de Villiers-sur-Seine s'en distingue de tous points de vue: les deux grands bâtiments et leurs annexes étaient protégés par un système de fossés et une palissade à caractère ostentatoire. Et, même si la vallée de la Seine était déjà anthropisée à la fin du IXe siècle avant notre ère, cet habitat semble avoir eu un impact important sur l'environnement naturel proche: développement des activités agro-pastorales grâce à l'extension des prairies humides; épisodes de défrichement pour la construction; culture d'espèces végétales variées dont la production nécessitait une agriculture intensive; chasse au gros gibier. À ces aspects marquant un statut social élevé des occupants s'ajoutent des activités exceptionnelles comme la métallurgie du bronze et l'organisation de repas collectifs. Villiers-sur-Seine paraît avoir été autant une plaque tournante de l'économie locale qu'un point de ralliement pour les populations aux alentours.
