Allée couverte du Bois-Couturier
Allée couverte du Bois-Couturier, Neolithic burial site in Guiry-en-Vexin, France.
This gallery grave contains an underground burial chamber measuring eight meters in length and two meters in width, constructed with limestone slabs.
A farmer discovered this collective burial site in 1915, and excavations conducted by Adrien de Mortillet in 1919 revealed approximately two hundred skeletons.
The antechamber orthostats feature sculptures depicting the Mother Goddess with breasts and jewelry in relief, typical of the Seine-Oise-Marne culture.
The site is located near the Val-d'Oise archaeological museum and can be reached via a marked trail from rue du Lavoir.
The original closing stone, weighing 158 kilograms and featuring a wooden locking system, is preserved in the Val-d'Oise archaeological museum.
