8 Pieces of charred wood from the passage grave of Kercado, Carnac, excavated a century ago, have recently been dated by our colleagues Delibrias, G., Labeyrie, J. and Perquis, M.T., Mesures de Carbone 14 à Saclay, 1961.Google Scholar The surprising result (a mean of eight counts) is:

Sa 95 3880 ± 300 B.c.

9 In the English edition of their book Brittany, London, 1960, P. R. Giot, J. L’Helgouach and J. Briard kept to the classical point of view considering these monuments as Late Neolithic, and posterior to the passage graves that are appendixed to some of them. In the French edition, La Bretagne, Paris, 1962, they have adopted the new view considering these monuments completely synchronic to the megaliths, as expressed by Arnal, J. and Burnez, C., 37–38 Bericht der Romisch-Germanischen Kommission, 1956–57, 42–44.Google Scholar There are good reasons for this.
