- BiFw-VP, Caverne de la Mine: This vertical cave served as an efficient animal trap throughout most of the Holocene. Two deposits, the upper and lower infill, contain vertebrate remains. Study of the upper infill revealed an essentially modern faunal assemblage (Carrier, 1989). However, the lower infill sequence, dated by four radiocarbon samples, reflects environmental changes with a predominantly boreal assemblage giving way to an increase in southern taxa.
