![]() These two main themes have recently witnessed major advances thanks to the application of new scientific techniques to old and new archaeological problems. Both topics have generated much discussion in recent years and form one of the main cutting edges of current research on prehistoric monuments. This volume revolves around two crucial aspects of recent research on prehistoric monuments: time (chronology) and matter (raw materials as used in both architecture and artefacts). This is therefore a cooperative, international book that brings together leading specialists from several European countries, including France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, and Spain. "This book presents the papers and discussions held at the second meeting of the European Megalithic Studies Group (Seville, Spain, November 2008). Our study of the six types (1, 2, 3,/…6) is revisited with the result of the Six basic principles lead to the certain association of social groups, most likely clans at Juffain. Understanding dolmen types and the megalithic structures related to them was attained using a holistic approach. Furthermore, ceramic typology identified 7 major pottery types with an additional 3 minor types. In rank of Importance, here are the discoveries: (1) borders and boundaries, show that each of the dolmen groups stand alone, (2) domestic meeting places point to a sedentary society, (3) quarries and cup hole centers demonstrate a high scale of distribution of central places, and (4) ritualistic centers indicates a higher level of human relationship. Five major stunning discoveries relating to the dolmen culture is found. Single structures are those that stand alone they are, D, Dolmens TU, Tumulus T, Tomb PA-Patio, W-Wall, CA-Cave, CIS-Cistern, S-Silo, P-Press, QS-Quarry Stone, C-Circle and SS-Standing Stone. While collecting data for a topographical map, of the structural types there are two different categories, single and centers. A previous survey with Perugia University, was performed in 2016, which provide insight about the high density of megalithic structures and study of structure distribution. ![]() Using Geographic information system (GIS) to produce topographical maps is the basis for the conservation and the development of a Dolmen Heritage Park. The most famous being the one of Stonehenge in England… The word comes from ancient Gaellic : "crwm" curved, and "llech" flat stone, and mean "flat stone (placed in) curve".The research presented here is about documentation, analysis and sharing new discoveries of Juffain mega-lithic field. They are said here only in a concern of completeness because we Don't have any around our territory. The cromlech, are prehistoric megalithic monuments made up of an alignment of vertical monoliths (menhirs) making a standing stones enclosure most of the time round. Nowadays, they are really rare and have disapeared due to men and erosion… To see, in Bignan the Kergonfalz dolmen nested in its 30 meters diameter tumulus. The tumulus is built with ground, sometimes melted with stones, whereas the cairn is only built with stones. On our territory, smaller, is the dolmen of La Milgourdy in PlumelecĪ tumulus, Latin word meaning Knoll, refers to an artificial elevation, round or not, recovering a grave. ![]() The most impressive cairn is the one of Barnenez, the oldest megalithic monument known (5 th century before Christ). Very present in Scotland, there are some in Brittany, most of them built to recover graves. They were built in many purpose : marked a path, identify a mountain, locate an event to commermorate, recover a funeral place… They can have many forms and very different size. Cairn is a Celtic word ("carn" in modern Breton) referring to a pile of stones made by men.
