Tumular necropolis (Box ZD 9, 10, 22, 74): registration by order of 4 August 1993
Origin and history
The Tumular Necropolis of Marigny is a historical monument located in the Jura department, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. This funeral site dates back to the ages of bronze and iron, testifying to the burial practices of these epochs. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1993, highlighting its archaeological and heritage importance.
This site is complementary to habitats on the shores of Lake Chalain, providing insight into the lifestyles and funeral rituals of the local populations of the time. The tumulus, characteristic of this necropolis, reflect a social organization structured around the death and memory of the ancestors. The precise location of the site, although known, is considered to be of poor accuracy (level 5/10), which may complicate its detailed study.
The necropolis is protected by an order of 4 August 1993, covering the cadastral plots ZD 9, 10, 22 and 74. This classification is intended to preserve archaeological remains and enable their scientific study. The site is located near the chemin de Bellevue, in the commune of Marigny, but the practical information regarding its visit or accessibility is not specified in the available sources.
