Abri adorned (box. E 1292): classification by decree of 16 June 1981
Origin and history
The adorned shelter of Recloses is a historical monument located in the commune of Recloses, Seine-et-Marne (Department 77), in the Île-de-France region. This site, whose exact nature (gravures, paintings, or other archaeological traces) is not specified in the available sources, was officially recognized and protected by a classification order dated 16 June 1981. This classification specifically concerns the cadastral parcel E 1292, attesting to its heritage importance.
Adorned shelters, typical of prehistoric or protohistoric heritage, often bear witness to ancient human occupation and the artistic or ritual practices of past societies. In Île-de-France, a region less known for this type of remains than other areas such as the South-West, their presence highlights unknown archaeological diversity. Although the details of the reasons or exact period of realization of this shelter are lacking, its ranking makes it a significant part of the local heritage, likely to interest researchers as well as those passionate about regional history.
The location of the shelter, reported as approximate (level of accuracy estimated at 5/10 in the Merimée base), indicates that its exact location may require additional verification. No information is available on its accessibility to the public, its tourist vocation, or any related services (visits, accommodation). The sources mentioned (Monumentum, internal data) do not provide further details on its history, discoverers, or studies that could have been conducted there.
