Sauveterre-la-Lémance is an interesting village in more ways than one.
The prehistoric site of Le Martinet, located in the commune, gave its name to a prehistoric period called the Sauveterrian. This is what is known as an eponymous site.
The term Sauveterrian designates flint-knapping industries dating from the Mesolithic, i.e. around 9,000 BC. This is a very interesting period for those who study prehistory, as it is a transitional period between the Palaeolithic and the Neolithic, often little studied. At the time, very small arrowheads (microliths) were made. What is minuscule is often unimpressive and does not attract crowds.
