Combe-Capelle, Archaeological site and historical monument in Saint-Avit-Sénieur, France.
The site features multiple deposits located on the right bank of Couze Valley, near Beaumont-du-Périgord, including Combe-Capelle Bas, Roc de Combe-Capelle, and Upper Combe-Capelle.
Archaeological excavations in 1909 revealed a significant Homo sapiens skeleton, initially dated to 30,000 years old but later revised to 9,500 years through modern dating methods.
The archaeological layers contain tools and artifacts from different periods, including Mousterian traditions, providing evidence of early human technological development in the region.

A human tooth discovered during early excavations contributes to paleontological studies, while charcoal concentrations remain unexplored for future investigations.
