The
investigations and the archaeological excavations in this
cave were directed by the Soprintendenza per i Beni
Archeologici della Calabria and by the Istituto Italiano
di preistoria e protostoria under the supervision of Professor
Paolo Graziozi and the collaboration of PhD. Mara Guerri
and Professor Santo Tinè. The discoveries date
from the High Paleolithic (19,000 years before present
times). It is important to point out the discovery in
the outside part of the cave of a tomb which still had
two short people. Nowadays, in the same place you can
find a replica. It is also remarkable the engraving of
a bovine, the “Bos primingenius” on the walls
of a large calcaneous area.
