Timeline

Origin and history

The Dolmen des Roques No. 2, located in Durbans, Occitanie, is a megalithic monument whose precise dating is not documented in the available sources. This type of structure, characteristic of neolithic societies, generally served as a collective burial or ritual place. Dolmens are architectural vestiges typical of prehistory, often associated with early sedentary communities.

In the Occitan region, the dolmens are part of a landscape marked by an ancient human occupation, where agriculture and livestock farming began to structure lifestyles. These monuments, although often without written sources, offer clues about funeral practices and beliefs of the people of the time. Their presence underscores the importance of territories such as Durban in the prehistoric history of southern France.
