Megalithism Representation in CIDOC-CRM
Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2022 The definition of Megalithism is found in specialized and academic works, on Archaeology and Prehistory, as well as in generalist dictionaries, glossaries and encyclopedias. However we are not aware of formal definitions specifically to this particular domain.

Megalithism in the Middle East
, 2022 Seven thousand years ago, the Middle East witnessed the emergence of new funerary rites. Previous traditions of burying the dead directly in the earth, in jars, or in an ossuary, were replaced with a new practice of inhumation inside megalithic tombs.

AbstractIn this paper, we present the MégaFormes project which deals with the modelling of megalithic sites. The goal is to enable virtual visits of megalithic sites and to help archaeologists in picturing the evolution of a monument. A megalithic site is made of a set of elements that can be: fogous, dolmens, chamber tombs, stone alignments or circles.

The Great Pyramid in Egypt and Stonehenge in England were both built in the third millennium BC from vast stones weighing up to 40 t. These and many other contemporary monuments to man's ingenuity could only have been achieved with an efficient means of transporting and raising the megaliths from which they are made.

Often associated with the monumental structures of the European Neolithic, megalithic structures are in fact found on almost all the continents of the globe. Far from being an exception, Africa is home to a vast diversity of monuments built with these blocks of up to several tonnes in weight.

The discovery of the first alignment of large stones in 1990 came as a complete surprise. It is not clear why we failed to recognize them previously, or rather why we failed to understand their significance during the first three field seasons (1974,1975 and 1977) at Nabta.

The context of, and sources for, illustrations produced by Soane’s studio on the theme of prehistoric monuments are explored. Reflecting upon the ‘embedding’ of style within the distant past (i.e. the ‘project of origins’), these tell of the changing configuration of the nation’s cultural landscape and provide further insight into the role of ruination

When we started surveying Megalithic sites in Britain we used a cloth tape, but after some years it was realized that it was necessary to be more precise and now we use a steel tape for the important sites. Similarly with astronomy; at first we considered it sufficiently accurate to work to ¼° but now we know that it is advisable to work always to ...

Assam is one of the very few remaining areas in which rude megalithic monuments are still erected and, like the most notable of the others—Madagascar—is on the fringe of the diffusion area of Indonesian civilization. Far apart as the two countries are, rough stone monuments are in both associated with a cult of the dead; both areas have cultural ...
