Finds At La Marche
When French scientist Léon Péricard excavated La Marche between 1937 and 1942 he catalogued over 1,500 slabs of limestone that had been carefully placed on the floor.
In the past two decades an extensive inventory of the cave has been taken. 1,512 pieces have been found and numbered, 386 of which were deemed as compositional entities. The content of these etchings include animals, such as lions and bears, along with 155 depictions of humans, clad in robes and boots, each with their own well-defined faces.

Famous quotes containing the word finds:
“As one who strives a hill to climb,
Who never climbed before:
Who finds it in a little time,
Grow every moment less sublime,
And votes the thing a bore:”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
