Les tumulus allongés du Centre-Ouest de la France : nécropoles, espaces, paysages

Abstract: La question des modes d’organisation territoriale des sociétés humaines reste peu explorée pour le Néolithique dans le Centre-Ouest de la France. Répertoriés dès 1840, des monuments aussi imposants que ceux de Tusson ou Luxé (Charente) n’avaient fait l’objet d’aucun relevé topographique détaillé. Ils apparaissent aujourd’hui comme des buttes boisées dans un paysage ouvert, situation à peu près inverse de celle que l’on imagine pour ces périodes préhistoriques, au vu des rares données palynologiques disponibles… Show more

“…5). The location of megalithic monuments in the landscape corresponds here, as elsewhere, to a set of norms, as revealed by the works of Roger Joussaume, Luc Laporte and Chris Scarre, who underlined that the main tumuli of the Tusson and Luxé/Fontenille cemeteries were distributed around lines of successive parallel and inter-visible ridges: Tusson-Bessé-Courcôme, Pérottes-La Motte de la Garde and Folatière, from west to east (Joussaume et al, 1998;Laporte et al, 2014a). In each of these three complexes, the long mounds are sited along the top of the ridge lines in order to amplify their monumentality.…”

“…The northern part of the Charente department, in particular, features one of the most important concentrations of dolmens in western France (Joussaume et al 1998;Ard et al 2019). This concentration includes dolmens of a unique architectural form (the Angoumoisin type) and long barrows that are among the most imposing known in Neolithic Europe (Laporte et al 2014;Ard et al 2016bArd et al , 2021. Mainly studied at the end of the nineteenth century, however, the structures and development of these monuments remain largely unknown.…”
