Summary (English)
The excavation inside the cave was placed in four points, with squares of 1×1m. The squares were named K I, which was positioned in the space where the lithic material was found in the excavations of the 70’s of the twentieth century realized by F. Prendi and Zh. Andrea. Square K. II was placed on the outside of the cave entrance, in front of the wall that separates the interior from the exterior of the cave. K III on the left side of the cave’s interior, the area in which the previous excavations were also concentrated, and precisely with the aim of controlling this area, whether or not it preserved traces of pre-Neolithic periods. K. IV was located at the end of the gallery of the cave; its purpose was to help with taking samples for C14 dating. The only trenches that gave lithic material were K. I and K. II. The trench K. III did not give any archaeological findings, while in K. IV the findings were the same as those found during excavations in the 70’s. From this trench it was also possible to take some C14 samples that will allow the absolute dating of the Neolithic layer. The lithic finds in this case attest the fact that the aim of the chaine operatoire was the production of blades. The is no summary for this season.
