“…It comprises the Marginally Backed Bladelets Aurignacian (layer 24), the Ancient Gravettian (layers 23–22), the Evolved Gravettian (layers 21–19b), the Late Gravettian (layers 19a–18b), the Ancient Epigravettian (layers 17–12), the Evolved Epigravettian (layers 11–8), and the Final Epigravettian (layers 7–3a). As the cave was eventually obstructed by sedimentation, it was not frequented during the Romanellian, a later phase of the Epigravettian of southern Italy (Palma di Cesnola, 2001, 2004b, 2006, 2011, and references cited therein; Wierer, 2013; Ricci et al, 2016; Borgia et al, 2016). The importance of the site also derives from the presence of three human burials and several isolated Upper Palaeolithic human remains (Ronchitelli et al, 2015; Fu et al, 2016; Posth et al, 2016), as well as from Upper Palaeolithic rock paintings (the only case known in Italy to date) (Zorzi, 1963; Arrighi et al, 2012b), mobiliary art objects (Mezzena and Palma di Cesnola, 1972, 1992, 2001, 2004; Arrighi et al, 2008, 2012a), and evidence of Gravettian plant-food processing (Mariotti Lippi et al, 2015; Revedin et al, 2015).…”
