Roc de Marsal (Dordogne, France) is a Middle Paleolithic
(Mousterian) cave near Les Eyzies. It was excavated by
Jean Lafille until his death in 1971. In addition to a rich sequence of
stone and bone assemblages, Lafille found the fossilized remains of a Neandertal
infant that appeared to have been intentionally buried. The site, like
many from this region, was never well published. This web site describes Roc de Marsal and our project. It also reports on the results to date. In 2009 we completed fieldwork at this site. We are currently finishing the analysis of the
finds and preparing for publication. |
