Timeline

Origin and history

The Menhir du Pas-Dieu de Perceneige is a megalithic monument located in the municipality of Perceneige, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. This type of structure, characteristic of prehistoric periods, reflects ancient cultural and religious practices, although its precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources. Menhirs, isolated erect stones, were often associated with symbolic or ritual functions in neolithic societies.

In this region, as elsewhere in France, these monuments sometimes marked places of assembly, borders or roads. Their presence reflects the spatial and spiritual organization of the local communities of the time, without it being possible to attribute a specific meaning to this menhir in the absence of detailed archaeological data.
