The Pech de lAzé Sites
Pech de lAzé (pronounced
"pesh/de/lahz" as if the final accent was not present) is a cluster of four
Lower and Middle Paleolithic sites. They are situated some 50 meters off of the floor of a
small, usually dry, valley that runs into the Enéa, a small tributary of the Dordogne
River. Pech de lAzé I and II are opposite entrances of a single tunnel-like cave
that intersects a promontory in the limestone cliff. Pech de lAzé IV is a collapsed
rock shelter roughly 80 meters east from the mouth of Pech I. Pech de lAzé
III (not shown in the figure) is a small cave in the same cliff located about 30 meters
west of the opening of Pech II.
