Mandrin cave

Mandrin Cave (French: Grotte Mandrin) is a French rock shelter located in the commune of Malataverne, in the Drôme department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, within the natural and historical area of Tricastin. The cave is currently undergoing archaeological excavation. It was occupied during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods, from 120,000 to 42,000 years ago, by Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, sometimes within a few years of each other, suggesting possible interactions between the two populations. During the earliest period, the Last Interglacial (Eemian), a particularly temperate interglacial period, temperatures were very high for about fifteen millennia.
