The ethnographic record provides archaeologists with a sense of the great variability of economic, technical, and symbolic solutions devised by recent forager groups in response to the problems of managing resources within restricted geographical areas. One such response that may be useful in analysing the formation and structure of territories in the Mesolithic of Brittany is the development of social, economic and symbolic networks, represented by nodes, routes, and permanent places, as well as by unoccupied sectors in a landscape. The recognition and modelling of prehistoric networks requires a spatial approach that involves extensive areal coverage combined with sound chronological controls and an understanding of the linked concepts of territory and networks.This paper presents the results of many weeks of field-walking together with the analysis of several hundred lithic artefact collections. Fieldwork started with the systematic search for geological deposits of the raw materials suitable for knapp
