The “Archeology of the Light”: A multiproxy, interdisciplinary and experimental approach to Paleolithic subterranean activities.
These data demonstrate that the <i>Archaeology of the Light</i> is "here to stay" and that it is an essential approach for a holistic understanding of Palaeolithic caves. Especially on the lighting systems used by paleo-groups in the underground environment (functioning, selected fuels, duration, light intensity), on the minimum number and date of prehistoric incursions, as well as on aspects related to the visibility and accessibility of Palaeolithic cave art.
