Kendrick's Cave, Prehistoric cave at Great Orme in Llandudno, Great Britain

The natural cavern features two distinct areas, with the upper cave entrance positioned six meters above the lower entrance on the limestone massif.

Thomas Kendrick conducted the initial excavation in 1880, discovering human bones, animal remains, and flint artifacts that indicate prehistoric human activities.

The decorated horse jawbone found in the cave represents the only known piece of artwork from Britain's Late Glacial period, approximately 10,000 years ago.

The collections from Kendrick's Cave are distributed among several institutions, including the British Museum in London and the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.

Analysis of human bones revealed that the cave inhabitants maintained a diet rich in marine resources, particularly focusing on seal consumption.
