Origin and history

The archaeological site of the Dolmen de Peyre de l'Homme, located in Durbans, is a megalithic monument whose exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources. This type of structure, characteristic of Neolithic, generally served as a collective burial or ritual place for local prehistoric communities. Dolmens, widespread in southern France, were often integrated into symbolic landscapes, reflecting the beliefs and social organization of the people of the time.

Their construction required collective cooperation, indicating a structured society capable of mobilizing significant human and material resources.
