Grotte de Spy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grotte de Spy (Spy Cave) is located in Namur, Belgium.
It is one of the most important paleolithic sites in Europe, and has undergone many excavations with many recoveries. In 1886 a discovery was made that still represents a capital episode in the history of science. The excavation was conducted by inhabitants of Liège, and consisted of an archaeologist (Marcel de Puydt), a geologist (Max Lohest) and a paleontologist (Julien Fraipont). This team proved to the international community the existence of a more antiquated type of human, in other words, the Neandertal.
