Site archéologique du Rozel, Archaeological site in Le Rozel, France.
The Rozel site contains numerous stone tools, animal bones, and food preparation remnants from prehistoric settlements along the Normandy coast.
Discovered in 1967, the site revealed Middle Paleolithic artifacts and structures, including flint tools and animal remains dating back 80,000 years.
The excavations uncovered evidence of Neanderthal activities, including butchery areas and temporary hunting camps, providing insights into their daily practices.
Archaeological teams work at the site during summer months, with protective structures installed in 2012 to prevent damage from rising sea levels.
The location holds 2,600 Neanderthal footprints and hand impressions, marking it as the only site worldwide containing preserved hand traces.
