ABSTRACT
France is the classic land of megalithic architecture, and North Spain, omitted from chapter VIII, can conveniently be treated as an annex of the French province. There are more “ dolmens” in this region than anywhere else in Europe, and so the real contribution of the megalith-builders to the stock of European civilization can best be judged from their achievement here. But before proceeding to that question, a survey of the foundations and other influences is needed.
