Human fossils dated to Riss II. The fossils were found in a "crevice" ("brèche", Br2) together with artefacts, which were, despite their small number, classified as Tayacien. Associated fauna indicates cold environment, supported by absolute dates: more than 230.000 B.P. (human remains) and 210.000 B.P. (stalagmites enclosing Br2) (Cesnola 1996 refers to Barral and Simone 1984a).
