Chasseur de la Préhistoire. L'Homme de Tautavel il y a 450 000 ans.
The Arago cave (or "Caune", as it is also called) is one of the largest karstic caves in the southern Corbières region. The cave is located high up, overlooking the Tautavel Valley, and offering an unparalleled view of the surroundings. This observation post must have been ideal for prehistoric hunters, who could thus watch the movements of game. In addition, the Verdouble, flowing at the foot of the cliff, was a watering place where animals came to drink - thus offering an obvious advantage to the people of Tautavel. Near the former entrance to the cave, a path provided easy access to another hunting area: the plateau, located above the cave.
The Sunghir Archaeological Site
The Sunghir archaeological site is situated near of Vladimir city, 192 km from Moscow (56°11" NL and 40°30" EL). The settlement was discovered in 1955. For 16 field seasons (1957-1977) an expedition under supervision of Otto N. Bader revealed 4500 m2 of the site area. Age of the settlement is defined from the disposal of the cultural layer in the so called Bryansk soil, connected with the corresponding interstadial of Valdai Ice age of Late Pleistocene. One of the first radiocarbon dates, obtained from collagen of reindeer bones in Groningen laboratory gives absolute age of 24430+/- 400 years ago (Gro 5446) and from charcoal - 25500+/- 200 years ago (Gro 5425).
