Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough examination of prehistoric archaeology, primarily focusing on the dolmens and megaliths of Brittany. The author provides a comprehensive history of the interpretation of these structures, tracing their evolution from Druidic altars to their current understanding as sepulchral monuments. Through excavation and analysis of the contents of various tumuli, the author argues that all dolmens were originally covered by tumuli, providing evidence of their funerary nature. The book also explores the diversity of dolmen structures, classifying them according to their architectural features. It further delves into the rituals and beliefs associated with these monuments, examining the practices of inhumation and cremation, as well as the symbolic significance of the elaborate ornamentation found on some dolmens. By presenting a detailed and up-to-date account of the dolmens of Brittany, this book contributes to our understanding of the cultural and religious practices of prehistoric societies and sheds light on their complex relationship with the landscape.
