Tombe No 2 de Casarils - a photo on Flickriver

            An oval group grave from the Chalcolithic. Close to the late neolithic village of Cambouse, Viols en laval. Hérault.

Oval burial chambres are specific to this local area. Larger stones provide a counterweight for infill stones which were arranged in a double layer. As far as i understand, no 'tete de Chouette' statue menhir was found associated with this site which may suggest that they were of individual circumstance and not essential rite. This type of grave almost resembles a tumulus without a dolmen and illustrates a gradual move away from the group effort that goes into the construction of the monolithics that go into megaliths. I have heard it mentioned that their construction resembles that of a small open ended Fontbouisse dry stone hut.

4,800 - 4,300 ybp. Culture Fontbouisse. Used into the bronze age.
