Protohistoric storage silo. Compartment cut out of the rock at the site of a protohistoric settlement in southern France. Silos like this may have been used for storing grain. Protohistory is the period between prehistory and history, when cultures that have not yet developed writing start appearing in the writings of other cultures. Photographed at the Buoux Fort, Provence, France.
