I´m looking for Middle Palaeolithic sites (either residence, symbolic or other activity-related) which have been found in the deep cave interior, or at least in zones lacking natural light, and thus far away from the entrance. An outstanding example of this would be the stalagmite structures of Bruniquel cave, but other not so deep and not so spectacular sites are welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
Hola Manuel,
at Gruta da Oliveira (Portugal), there is evidence of Middle Palaeolithic occupation in the cave interior. Archaeological record (incl. in-situ thermal alteration) was found in the so-called "27-S Chamber", which is not reached by natural light - even if not very far from cave entrance.
Please check Angelucci & Zilhão 2009 (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230449135_Stratigraphy_and_Formation_Processes_of_the_Upper_Pleistocene_Deposit_at_Gruta_da_Oliveira_Almonda_Karstic_System_Torres_Novas_Portugal) as well as other papers on the site also available in RG.
Best,
Diego
