Abstract
The aim of this study is to apprehend the function of the stone enclosures during the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. Some enclosures well positioned in the Corsican chronology have been chosen to show an evolution of their dimensions, of dry-stone techniques used and of the function of the structures excavated within enclosures. The results prove that during the Neolithic, the whole habitat is inside the enclosure, whereas the enclosure of the Bronze Age is the seat of the economic and/or political activity.
