Excavation of the deposit involved the area within squares 4-5-6-7/BB-CC-DD-EE-FF-GG, where at the end of the excavation the top of a layer attributable to the Mesolithic/Sauveterrian period had been reached.
In order to simplify the reading of the stratigraphy the cuts denominated 21, 21 brown, 22 and 23 were grouped under the generic title cut 1, this was also due to the uniformity of the gravel in which it was not possible to clearly distinguish individual layers. Cut 1 was almost sterile but produced a few bones, flints artefacts and pottery fragments from the “Guadone” type vases that were found in previous campaigns.
In squares 4 FF/GG a heap of stones, denominated cut 1B/1, came to light. It was fairly regularly aligned in a north-east/south-west direction and was probably the result of the Mesolithic occupants freeing the area of stones in order to make space for the large hearth feature 24 F.

The excavation of this layer revealed, in correspondence with its outer limit (4/5 FF), a clear change in the slope of the deposit. It remains to be seen whether this was caused by the cut of a ditch, the contact between two different layers (the exterior and interior deposits), to the crushing of the sediment caused by the accumulation of stones above it (feature 1B/1) or to a layer of large stones below. The hearth feature 24 F was excavated and the floatation of the deposit produced an abundance of charcoal.

Among the finds were flint flakes, a number of pierced dove shells, an unfinished geometric, a serrated implement, a small scraper and a large burin.
In 6DD, in a more internal position than the hearth, another patch of ash was excavated, perhaps relating to the cleaning/emptying of the hearth itself.
Feature 25 in squares 4/5 BB and CC were removed in order to reveal the top of feature 26 across the entire excavation area. Feature 25 was only identified in the most external part of the excavation, as it was almost certainly the result of gravel which had slid from outside the cave towards the interior and had stopped by the cave mouth.

Therefore, the hearth of feature 24 (Castelnovian) was directly in contact with the greyish coloured feature 26 (Sauveterrian).
Of interest in square 7 DD a gravel feature of quadrangular shape with sharp corners, of circa 10 × 5 cm, with a red patch (almost certainly ochre) on two of the larger surfaces.

In square 4 DD cut 1B a fragment of deer antler and two bone fragments from large mammals, perhaps belonging to the same animal, were found.
Furthermore, human skeletal remains relating to the lower limbs (feet) of an individual were found in cut 2 (in the new classification for the interior of the cave), squares 4/5 FF and GG.
