Origin and history

The dolmen de Montmorillon is a megalithic vestige located in the commune of Montmorillon in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This type of monument, characteristic of Neolithic, bears witness to the funeral and cultural practices of local prehistoric societies. No precise dating or detailed archaeological 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 territory, reflecting a complex social and spiritual organization. In New Aquitaine, a region rich in prehistoric remains, these monuments illustrate the importance of exchanges and traditions shared among the people of the time.
