Cerny culture
Neolithic archaeological culture / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cerny culture (French: La Culture de Cerny, German: Cerny-Kultur) is a Neolithic culture in France that dates to the second half of the 5th millennium B.C. and that is particularly prevalent in the Paris Basin. It is characterized by monumental earth mounds, known as long barrows of the Passy type.[1][2] The term is derived from the "Parc aux Bœufs" in Cerny in the department of Essonne who authorized the name.
