Goyet Caves, Prehistoric cave system in Mozet, Belgium
The Goyet Caves extend through 250 meters of underground galleries carved in limestone cliffs, situated 15 meters above the Samson River.
Geologist Edouard Dupont conducted the first scientific excavations in 1867, revealing multiple sediment layers dating from 120,000 to 5,000 years ago.
Archaeological findings include stone tools, carved reindeer horns, ivory platelets, harpoons, and a prehistoric flute, representing various periods of human occupation.
The caves offer guided tours with archaeologists every Sunday and during Belgian school holidays, with mandatory reservations for groups of 30 visitors maximum.
Research revealed evidence of Neanderthal practices through human remains with cut marks, indicating specific bone processing techniques for marrow extraction.
