Theopetra Cave, Archaeological cave in Theopetra, Greece.
This limestone cave stretches across 500 square meters at 100 meters elevation, overlooking the Lethaios River valley near Kalambaka.
Archaeological excavations from 1987 to 2008 under Dr. Nina Kyparissi Apostolika revealed continuous human presence spanning 130,000 years through multiple prehistoric periods.
The cave holds extensive archaeological sequences documenting human activities from the Middle Paleolithic through the Neolithic period in Greece.
Scientists have collected substantial paleoenvironmental data through sediment analysis and botanical remains found within the cave's rectangular chamber.
A stone wall dated to 23,000 years ago at the cave entrance represents the oldest human-made structure discovered in Greece.
