Summary (English)
The excavation took place over four weeks (from June 24, 2013 to July 20, 2013) during which time we expanded the previous stratigraphical survey from 2012 to a total excavation area of 10m2.
At this time, no archaeological material has been recovered above the 120m mark (above the surface level), though up to this altitude numerous archaeological remains attributable to a chronological period between the Late Bronze Age and the Middle Bronze Age have been identified. The archaeological material is mainly concentrated at the bottom of the cave and demonstrates strong correlations between each item. The corpus consists of numerous pottery fragments, objects in copper alloys, rare lithic flint tools, and numerous fragments of fauna, some of which exhibit signs of burning.
