Origin and history

The prehistoric deposit of the Pont d'Ambon à Bourdeilles is a classified archaeological site in the commune of Bourdeilles in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This monument is associated with the Paleolithic period, an era marked by the first traces of human occupation and the use of carved stone tools. The discoveries made on this site offer valuable insight into the lifestyles of local prehistoric populations.

During Paleolithic, human communities lived mainly in hunting, gathering and fishing. Archaeological deposits such as that of the Ambon Bridge were often places of temporary passage or installation, linked to the availability of natural resources. These sites play a key role in understanding the migration and adaptation of human groups to climate and environmental change.
