About This Book
The author surveys the formation and variety of caves and relates their geological processes to the archaeological and paleontological deposits they preserve, explaining types such as sea-formed, volcanic, and limestone water-caves and the development of stalagmitic deposits. He reviews the history of cave exploration across Europe and provides detailed case studies (for example Wookey Hole, Victoria Cave, Kent’s Hole, Brixham, Auvergne, and Denbighshire), describing discoveries of human tools, artworks, and bones alongside extinct Pleistocene fauna. The account interprets these associations to trace palæolithic and neolithic occupations, later historic cave use, and the climatic and geographical implications for early inhabitants and regional ethnological links.
