Origin and history

The prehistoric deposit of the Rescondudou is an archaeological site located in the municipality of Sébazac-Concourès, in the department of Aveyron, in the Occitan region. This monument, originally dating back to Prehistory, bears witness to the ancient human occupation in this area of southwestern France. It has been identified as a place of major heritage interest for understanding prehistoric lifestyles in the region.

The site was officially recognized for its historical and archaeological value, which led to its listing as historical monuments by order of 9 February 1993. This legal protection aims to preserve the remains and enable their scientific study. The deposit is located precisely at 2 Chemin du Rescondudou, on Parcel C 212, and belongs to the municipality of Sébazac-Concourès.

The Aveyron region, and more broadly Occitanie, is rich in prehistoric sites, reflecting a dense and varied human occupation from these remote periods. These deposits, such as the Rescondudou, offer valuable insights into the activities of the people of the time, such as hunting, gathering, or the first forms of social organization. Their preservation allows archaeologists and historians to gradually reconstruct the puzzle of daily life in Prehistory.
