Cave of Punta Sbalzi
Purely indicative georeferencing. To review!!
The cavity opens in the rocky foot of Punta Sbalzi. It is a single room completely emptied of the ancient deposit of which traces remain only in paleosols concreted on the walls. One of these, in the background on the left, would suggest the Paleolithic and would be confirmed
by the presence in the talus of Epigravettian industry. F ° 249 III NO, Capo Rama; UTM: UC32662068, Altitude: 275 m,
Development m 10.
