From Underfoot

Q1643779




The Grotte de Cotencher is a cave in the Jura Mountains located in the Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It is a high-altitude Mousterian site, the first of its kind discovered in Switzerland in 1867, and it has served as a reference for research on the fauna contemporary with the Mousterian since the first major excavations (1916-1918). The cave is primarily known for yielding a large number of lithic artifacts, as well as Neanderthal human remains.
