<\/figure>\n\nThis opinion is completely independent<\/strong>, based on our experiences. We visited the area anonymously, making our own choices, and paying all our bills in full.<\/p>\n\n The prehistoric sites that have been discovered are, for the moment, mainly in southern Corsica, but there are also indications in northern Corsica. There is currently no evidence of human presence in the Paleolithic.<\/p>\n\n On the other hand, Mesolithic burials have been excavated, proof of an occupation from the 9th millennium BC. Discovered in 1972, the oldest skeleton would be dated between 7000 and 6500 BC and baptized “The Lady of Bonifacio”.<\/p>\n\n The perennial colonization of Corsica dates from the Neolithic period around 5700 BC. Communities settled with their animals. Corsica becomes more densely populated around 4500 BC, and the populations are in contact with their Mediterranean neighbors. Roger Grosjean was the leader of the archaeological excavations on the prehistory in Corsica. He is the one who launches the excavations in Cuccuruzzu, Cauria, Tappa, Arraggio. He is at the origin of the Shardan invasion theory to explain the statue-menhirs.<\/p>\n\n See all our tips<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n Open-air museum with testimonies of ancient communities from the 6th millennium B.C. to the Roman Empire. Discovered in 1946, the site has been inhabited for 8000 years. It is one of the most beautiful examples of megalithic art of Corsica, and it still puzzles the scientists. All the information you need for your trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the site of Cauria, you can make an easy walk to admire 3 different sites:<\/p>\n\n Stantari: statue-menhirs aligned in a field. Rinaju \/ Renaghju: another group of stones raised. Here a chronology has been evaluated. It seems that there were 60 stones around 4500 BC and 180 around the first millennium BC.<\/p>\n\n Funtanaccia: the most beautiful example of dolmen in Corsica. This collective funerary monument is the best known and best preserved on the island: an enormous slab placed on 6 vertical stones.<\/p>\n\n We liked very much the calm that rules there and the state of preservation of the dolmen.<\/p>\n\n Option 1:<\/span> Around the famous beaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend..:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option 2:<\/span> in the maquis around Bonifacio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend..:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option 3:<\/span> in Bonifacio itself (citadel or marina) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend..:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option 4:<\/span> in Propriano<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend <\/p>\n\n\n\nPrehistoric sites of Corsica: Map<\/h2>\n\n
