A new magazine offered by Sandrine Statuto, we met her to ask her some questions.

How did you come up with the idea of ​​creating a magazine dedicated to archaeology? ?

Stones have always fascinated me! When we cross archaeological sites, we feel a special atmosphere, the places are inhabited. I’ve always wondered if stones could talk, what would they whisper in our ears?

The desire to give them a voice gradually grew imposed. Corsica is full of sites and each in its own way sheds light on the daily life of these men and women who shaped these places.

Beyond the stones, who are the protagonists? ?

Well, stones don’t speak, but fortunately, dedicated and passionate historians and archaeologists lend them a voice. For each selected site, a specialist will reveal the unique history of the place. This precious story offers us a poetic and sensitive stroll through the site we pass through, giving it a second wind and new keys to understanding.

Which site left the biggest impression on you?

A few years ago, during a filming session, I met an archaeologist who told me about a site, closed to the public, whose theme and period had fascinated me personally for years.

From then on, I knew that I was going to write a program around archeology one day, just to be able to access this place. The episode now exists, it’s up to you to spot it !!

But, overall, all the episodes reveal a nugget of our history and I would have a hard time highlighting one in particular.

Why would you recommend following this collection dedicated to archaeology? ?
