Un articolo descrittivo sulla grotta. ABSTRACT
Jean Clottes, a specialist in cave paintings, is commissioned to appraise the cave. Very quickly, he realises he is looking at Palaeolithic art.

Trustworthy dates on charcoal from the classic European painted caves have given a sharper view of images and their making in the later Palaeolithic. The new Grotte Chauvet has its own original themes, revealing a striking and an unexpected Aurignacian art with - again - dates from charcoal in which one can have confidence.
