The paper presents findings from the archaeological site of Abri des Castelli, situated at 2140 meters above sea level in the Corsican mountains. A comprehensive survey uncovered 430 Neolithic artefacts across a 23-hectare area, highlighting four key archaeological sites, including a main settlement and satellite sites. The study also details the chronology based on radiocarbon dating of various charcoal samples, revealing significant insights into the Neolithic occupation and environmental conditions, alongside a preliminary analysis of plant remains that suggest the resource utilization strategies of the inhabitants.
