This type of site generally provides clues about the lifestyles, tools or cultural practices of prehistoric populations that occupied the region.

Prehistoric sites such as Verberie play a key role in understanding early human societies. In the Hauts-de-France, as elsewhere in Europe, these vestiges make it possible to study the transitions between hunting-gathering periods and the beginnings of agriculture or sedentarization. They also reflect the adaptation of communities to local resources, such as streams or fertile soils, that have been able to promote their sustainable settlement.
