context_page_description: Thury is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France. Its inhabitants are called Thurycois and Thurycoises.
context_section_description: Prehistoric traces of human presence in Thury, determined by finds of flint remains, go back to the Neanderthals about 40,000 years BCE. Neolithic objects (ca. 6000-3000 BCE in the region) discovered by Mr Creusard, including a polished stone pestle that was used to crush grain, are held in the small museum inside the church's tower. Burgundian palaeographer Maximilien Quantin reported the finding in 1862 of bronze objects (a ring, a hatchet and a key) from the Bronze Age (ca. 3000-1000 BCE) in Thury's hamlet of Gémigny.
