and the age of the engravings are established in the same manner as

Before leaving the caverns of the Vézére Valley it should be 
noted that recent discoveries there have not been confined to mural 
art alone. The classic station of Les Eyzies is only one of many 
rock-shelters in the same cliff. To the east of it only a few rods and 
at the same level is the station of Peyrille, yielding an industry with 
lower Magdalenian facies. A short distance to the west of the Grotte

des Eyzies and at a slightly higher (2.50 meters) level is the rock- 
shelter of Escalifer, with lower Mousterian industry. A few meters 
still farther to the west and on the same level as Escalifer is the 
rock-shelter of Audi, with a superposition of Aurignacian on Mouste- 
rian. Some 5 or 6 miles to the east of this group of stations is the 
rock-shelter of Laussel near a chateau of the same name and also near 
the rock-shelter of La Gréze. Explored originally by E. Riviére in 
1894, new excavations were made by Doctor Lalanne in 1908. The 
Laussel section revealed in stratigraphic position a succession of lay- 
ers, including Acheulian, Mousterian, Aurignacian in two separate 
horizons, and Solutréan.
