Origin and history

The prehistoric deposit of Buoux is an archaeological site located in the commune of Buoux, in the department of Vaucluse (84), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This site, whose precise location is estimated to be mediocre (level 5 out of 10), is identified as "Prehistoric Gisement (park)" and corresponds to cadastre B 10. It is owned by the municipality of Buoux and was classified as historical monuments by order of 24 June 1968.

The site is associated with Prehistory, a period marked by nomadic or semi-sedentary lifestyles, where local populations lived mainly hunting, gathering and, later, early forms of agriculture. Prehistoric deposits such as Buoux's provide essential material remains to understand the human activities, tools and social organization of these ancient communities. These sites play a key role in rebuilding past environments and interactions between human groups and their environment.

According to available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, Buoux's deposit is referenced in the Mérimée base, which lists the French architectural heritage. The administrative address indicated is 84480 Buoux, although a GPS approximation suggests a location near Bonnieux, in the area called "The Country of Women". No additional information is provided regarding its accessibility to the public, any recent excavations, or any specific artifacts discovered there.
