Origin and history
The Martins de Roussillon deposit, located in the commune of Roussillon in the Vaucluse, is a major archaeological site of the Prehistory. This monument, classified as a neolithic deposit, bears witness to the ancient human occupations in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 8 June 1988 underlines its heritage and scientific importance.
The location of the site, although documented (5463 Gallas, 84220 Roussillon), remains approximated according to available data, with an estimated accuracy of 5/10. This type of deposit provides valuable insight into the lifestyles, tools and practices of neolithic communities in south-eastern France. Prehistoric sites such as the Martins' play a key role in understanding the first sedentary societies and their interaction with the environment.
Practical information on access to the site (visit, open to the public) is not specified in the available sources. The deposit belongs to the Mérimée base, which lists the French historical monuments, and its cadastral identification (parcelles BD 127 and 128) allows to place it administratively. No mention is made of any remarkable artifacts or structures discovered on site, or archaeological excavations detailed in the source text.
