Timeline

Origin and history

The Dolmen de la Bertrandoun, located in Prayssac in Occitanie, is a megalithic monument whose precise dating is not documented in the available sources. This type of structure, characteristic of prehistory, generally served as a collective burial or ritual place for neolithic communities. In the Occitan region, dolmens are frequent remains, reflecting the social organization and beliefs of ancient populations.

These monuments, often linked to funeral practices, mark the landscape and offer a material testimony of the first sedentary societies. Their presence suggests a sustainable human occupation and a structure of the territory from these remote times.
