ABSTRACT
Our perception of megalithic monuments is closely tied to a number of fundamental principles, which go without question: they are created spaces, achieved by human labour at the cost of a considerable effort, sometimes on a scale which stimulates our admiration. Should we be called upon here to distinguish between the works of nature and culture, we would not hesitate for an instant. We know, however, that the world-views developed by traditional societies are often much less compartmentalised than our own. Was the nature/ culture distinction as clearly perceived by those who oversaw the construction of monuments during the Neolithic?
