Pierre à cupules de La Verpillère, Prehistoric rock with cup marks in La Verpillère, France
The stone surface contains multiple shallow depressions carved into its upper face, measuring approximately 4 meters wide and 2 meters high.
During the stone's extraction in 1919, archaeologists discovered a collective burial site from the Chalcolithic period containing fifteen bodies.
The archaeological findings included nine retouched flint blades, tubular beads made of steatite, deer antler tools, and bone awl fragments.
The stone weighs over 80 tons and serves as the base for the town's war memorial, making it easily accessible in the center of La Verpillère.
This erratic block, known as 'Pierre Millet', represents one of twenty known cup-marked stones in northern Isère, classified as a historical monument in 1926.
