Origin and history

The Bernoux Prehistoric Cave, located in the commune of Bourdeilles in New Aquitaine, is a listed monument of the Paleolithic period. This archaeological site illustrates the importance of the region as a place of habitat and activity for prehistoric populations. The available data highlight its role in understanding lifestyles and techniques of this distant era.

Prehistoric caves, like Bernoux caves, were often natural shelters for Paleolithic human groups. In southwestern France, these sites served as refuges, flint tool-sized workshops, or hunting and gathering sites. Their study allows us to reconstruct the cultural and social practices of the communities that lived there, although the details specific to this site remain partially documented in the current internal sources.
