Megaloceros of the Entrance

The panel to the right of the entrance to the Megaloceros Gallery has undergone a number of events resulting from anthropogenic, animal and natural actions which have succeeded each other over time. Drawings carried out in charcoal on a hardened cave wall have been clawed by bears and erased by scrapings, some of which depict a spray-shaped sign, and finally an incomplete rhinoceros and a megaloceros (dated to 31,360 ± 620 years ago or between 36,692 and 34,115 calBP) were drawn in black. However, we do not know how much time elapsed between these various phases; it was at least one season and remained within the Aurignacian period.
