Magdalena Cave, Archaeological site near Ulm, Germany
The Magdalena Cave contains a single room measuring 23 meters in length with two openings in the ceiling that provide natural light and ventilation.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1955 and 1963 by Gustav Riek revealed 22 distinct sediment layers containing artifacts from the Upper Paleolithic period.
The cave contains evidence of the Magdalenian culture, including 1100 stone tools, jewelry pieces, and advanced hunting equipment made from bone and antler materials.
