Facts and practical information
Le Regourdou is an archaeological site in the Dordogne department, France, on top of a hill just 800 m from the famous cave complex of Lascaux. At this now collapsed 35 m deep ancient karst cavity remarkably well preserved Neanderthal fossils were recovered, that might be skeletal remains of deliberate burials. According to the current excavation team at the site, the correct name of the location is "Regourdou". "Le Régourdou" is considered a misnomer and should be avoided. ()
