Greetings from Prehistoric times - HFF

This gallery tomb "La Bertinière" rises to the east, where the burial chamber is located at the end. The gallery is 14.7 m long and approximately 1.45 m wide, with an irregular width. Nine stones form the roof. During the excavation in the 19th century, human bones were discovered in the western chamber, along with a polished stone, two worked flints, and black pottery with raised ridges. A skull fragment and cremated bones were found in the gallery.

UN BONJOUR DES TEMPS PRÉHISTORIQUES. L'allée couverte de la Bertinière s'élève vers l'est, la chambre funéraire se trouvant à son extrémité. La galerie mesure 14,7 m de long et environ 1,45 m de large, avec une largeur irrégulière. Neuf pierres forment le toit. Lors des fouilles au XIXe siècle, des ossements humains ont été découverts dans la chambre ouest, ainsi qu'une pierre polie, deux silex taillés et des fragments de poterie noire à reliefs. Un fragment de crâne et des ossements incinérés ont été mis au jour dans la galerie.

VIELE GRÜSSE AUS DER VORZEIT. Das Galeriegrab der "Bertinière" steigt nach Osten an, wo am Ende die Grabkammer liegt. Die Länge der Galerie beträgt 14,7m, ihre unregelmässige Breite etwa 1,45 m. Neun Steine bilden das Dach. Bei Ausgrabungen im 19. Jh. wurden in der westlichen Kammer menschliche Knochen entdeckt, ein polierter Stein, zwei bearbeitete Silices und schwarze mit Reliefs verzierte Keramikteile. In der Galerie lagen ein Schädelfragment und verbrannte Knochen.
