Timeline

Origin and history

The Dolmen de Lathus-Saint-Rémy is a megalithic vestige located on the territory of the municipality of Lathus-Saint-Rémy. This type of monument, characteristic of Neolithic, bears witness to the funeral and cultural practices of prehistoric societies. No precise dating or detailed historical context is available in current sources.

Dolmens, as collective funeral structures, played a central role in neolithic communities. They served as burial places and often marked the landscape, reflecting a complex social and spiritual organization. In New Aquitaine, a region rich in prehistoric remains, these monuments illustrate the ancient occupation of the territories and exchanges between populations.
