Abstract
THE famous rock-shelter of Laugerie-Haute, on the right bank of the Vezere in Dordogne, which was discovered by E. Lartet and H. Christy in 1862 and recorded by them as a palaeolithic site, and has since been explored in part from time to time by archaeologists, was under excavation by H. Hauser when war broke out in 1914. It was acquired by the State on Hauser's conviction of espionage. In 1921, MM. Denis and filie Peyrony began the systematic excavation of the shelter. It had never previously been examined below the Solutrean and Magdalenian levels. The investigations were carried on at intervals over a period of years, the excavation being completed in 1935. The last four years were devoted to the east end of the shelter, which had not been attacked before.
