A large view of the Megalithic Area of Megamuseo Archaeological Park and Museum in Aosta, Italy, on February 7, 2025, shows the dolmen at the center, which houses the graves of 39 individuals: mostly male adults, but also women and children, including some newborns. The Megalithic Area of Saint-Martin-de-Corleans, situated on the outskirts of Aosta, reflects the progression of human history. Its unplanned discovery in 1969, prompted by the city's urban expansion, reveals an archaeological site containing evidence dating from the Neolithic period to the Roman Age, including the Copper, Bronze, and Iron Ages.
