Megalithic remains are one of the important evidences of prehistoric culture scattered in Pagaralam, South Sumatra. The megalithic remains found in Pagaralam are scattered in several strategic locations that show a unique distribution pattern. The sites not only offer insight into the beliefs and spiritual practices of past communities but also indicate a close relationship between humans and the surrounding environment. This research uses historical methodology characterized by several stages such as heuristics; source criticism; interpretation; historiography. The results of this research reveal various findings that enrich the understanding of prehistoric civilizations in South Sumatra. The megalithic structures found, such as dolmens, menhirs, sarcophagi, tetraliths, and carved stones, reflect the social, spiritual, and cultural life of past communities.
