Grotte du Moulin, Prehistoric cave in Troubat, France
The cave extends through a large chamber leading to a wide gallery, with two north-facing entrances positioned at different vertical levels.
Archaeologists Édouard Lartet and Michel Barbaza conducted excavations between 1986 and 2002, uncovering evidence of continuous human habitation from Magdalenian to Bronze Age.
The Raymond Bonnet gallery contains Magdalenian period wall decorations featuring red color marks and engravings that demonstrate early human artistic expression.
Located in the glacial valley of Ourse at 541 meters elevation, the cave extends approximately 30 meters into the mountainside.
Archaeological layers within the cave contain marine bird remains and charcoal-rich sediments that provide information about climate variations and past living patterns.
