Cave of the Engravings
Purely indicative georeferencing.
The cave is a small but interesting example of marine erosion, with two diametrically opposite entrances. On the ground there are concrete traces of a poor palethnological deposit. At the entrance on the left wall in 1959 I discovered a group of linear engravings, the second after those of the Sperlinga shelter (Me). An abusive excavation carried out in the upper part has brought to light some remains of an already upset deposition. .
