From the Neolithic, foreign siliceous materials were imported into Corsica as the island lacks local chert and obsidian. Such a context constitutes a real opportunity to investigate the relationship of the island with surrounding areas, in perspective with cultural evolutions. For 20 years, chert sourcing studies were carried out. We took into account 26 sites, dating from the Ancient Neolithic to the Final Neolithic. The work is based on non-destructive petro-archaeological observations of the artefacts. and on the survey and characterization of Sardinian sources (320 samples collected and 60 different lithotypes characterized). The study aims to better understand the place of chert among the lithic assemblages throughout time and identify the provenance of most of the chert material introduced into Corsica. It reveals procurement evolution in terms of preferred facies and of stages of introduction, depending on the chronology and geographical situation of the sites. The results confirm connections with Sardinia, among which Perfugas basin constitutes a major source of raw material for Corsica. It also shows relations with the Italian Peninsula for some Middle Neolithic sites in Northern Corsica. Comparisons with data from Sardinia show the affinities and differences between the two islands and open further avenues for research.

新石器时代科西嘉岛的燧石采购：推断第勒尼安群岛的社会领土

从新石器时代开始，由于岛上缺乏当地的燧石和黑曜石，外国硅质材料被进口到科西嘉岛。从文化演变的角度来看，这样的背景构成了研究岛屿与周边地区关系的真正机会。20 年来，进行了燧石采购研究。我们考虑了从古代新石器时代到新石器时代末期的 26 个遗址。这项工作基于对文物的非破坏性石油考古观察。以及撒丁岛资源的调查和表征（收集了 320 个样本和表征了 60 种不同的岩型）。该研究旨在更好地了解燧石在整个岩石组合中的位置，并确定大多数引入科西嘉岛的燧石材料的来源。它根据地点的时间顺序和地理情况，揭示了首选相和引入阶段的采购演变。结果证实了与撒丁岛的联系，其中 Perfugas 盆地是科西嘉岛原材料的主要来源。它还显示了科西嘉北部一些新石器时代中期遗址与意大利半岛的关系。与撒丁岛数据的比较显示了两个岛屿之间的相似性和差异，并为研究开辟了进一步的途径。它还显示了科西嘉北部一些新石器时代中期遗址与意大利半岛的关系。与撒丁岛数据的比较显示了两个岛屿之间的相似性和差异，并为研究开辟了进一步的途径。它还显示了科西嘉北部一些新石器时代中期遗址与意大利半岛的关系。与撒丁岛数据的比较显示了两个岛屿之间的相似性和差异，并为研究开辟了进一步的途径。
