Gisement préhistorique de Rochereil
Gisement préhistorique de Rochereil, Prehistoric archaeological site in Grand-Brassac, France
Located along the Dronne River, this rock shelter contains multiple excavation layers revealing human occupation patterns during the Upper Paleolithic period.
Initial excavations began in the early 20th century by M. Féaux and Marquis de Fayolle, followed by extensive research between 1935 and 1939 by Dr. Paul-Émile Jude.
The site contains burials from two distinct periods: a child from the Magdalenian era and an adult with adolescents from the Azilian period.
The archaeological site received official protection status as a classified historic monument on April 1, 1952, requiring permits for any research activities.
Since 2011, researchers under Patrick Paillet's direction have implemented new study programs to examine the site's archaeological materials and human remains.
