FranceCosquer Cave is located in the Calanque de Morgiou in Marseille, France [1]. Nearly 500 instances of cave art remain which date back to two distinct periods during the Upper Paleolithic [1]. The first phase, from around 27,000 years ago, is represented by art consisting of 65 hand stencils [1]. Art from the more recent period dates to around 19,000 years ago and features much more complex depictions of various animals and human figures [1].
