At Bougon (Deux-Sèvres - France), is situated one of the oldest European necropolis. It is to Neolithic men that we owe these circular or elongated monumental graves (tumuli) made out of stones and hearth and dating back to the 5th and 4th millennium BC. A Bougon (Deux-Sèvres - France) se trouve l'une des plus anciennes nécropoles d' Europe. On la doit aux hommes du Néolithique qui ont érigé ces tumuli arrondis ou allongés - faits de pierres et de terre - et datant du 5ème et 4ème millénaire avant Jésus-Christ.
