Arago Cave
The Arago cave (or "Caune", as it is also called) is an ancient karst cave in the Tautavel valley of France with over 35 feet of deposits containing over 40 very old stratified occupations, dated between 450,000 and 100,000 years before the present. Stone tools and faunal remains have been found in plenty. The oldest layer includes Tautavel Man's several bone and bone fragments and they call it as Homo erectus tautavelensis. Archaeologist Henry de Lumley of the Institute de Paleontologie Humaine has been excavating the cave since 1964 and continues research today.
