Mapping Carnac

Who built the Carnac alignments, and why? A team of archaeologists and geophysicists is mapping the subsoil of the Neolithic site of Carnac, in search of buried menhirs, quarries, ditches and traces of settlements. Using innovative, non-invasive technologies such as magnetometers and flying radar, they hope to gain a better understanding of the context in which the alignments were created, and of the builders' way of life.
