Thermal impact of tourist visits on the microclimate in the Cap Blanc shelter, Dordogne, France
Tourism is a growing concern for the conservation of heritage sites. In the Dordogne, the Cap Blanc shelter attracts many visitors and their presence may affect its parietal frieze by altering the thermal environment. To assess this impact, a study is carried out using numerical simulation, a non-intrusive conservation tool that can model the thermal behaviour of the cavity during tourist visits. We validate the numerical model with the temperatu…

A Geophysical Tool for the Conservation of a Decorated Cave – a Case Study for the Lascaux Cave
The Lascaux Cave, located in the south‐eastern part of the department of the Dordogne (24, France), is considered to be one of the most important prehistoric caves in the world. The scope of this study is the protection and conservation of the Lascaux paintings from a hydrogeological and climatic environmental standpoint. Geophysical methods enable us to monitor the environment of the decorated cave in a non‐invasive way. Electrical resistivity t…

Approche taphonomique des parois des grottes ornées
Objectifs Dans les grottes ornées, l’étude taphonomique a pour objectif de comprendre l’évolution de la surface des parois. Il s’agit de restituer l’état initial avant la réalisation des œuvres et de comprendre les phénomènes postérieurs à la fréquentation humaine : quels mécanismes ont affecté les dessins depuis leur réalisation ? Peut-on reconnaître les parties de la cavité où des œuvres ont pu disparaître ? Quelle différence entre le corpus in…
Taphonomic Approach to the Walls of Decorated Caves
Objectives In decorated caves, the aim of taphonomic studies is to understand the evolution of the wall surfaces. It is thus possible to reconstruct the initial state of a wall before the realization of art works and understanding the processes that occurred after the presence of humans: what processes modified the drawings after their realization? Can we identify the parts of the cave where artistic representations have disappeared? What is the …
The Collective Research Project “Cussac Cave” (Dordogne, France)
Following the discovery of Cussac Cave (Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, Dordogne) in 2000 and its expertise by a first group of researchers (N. Aujoulat and collaborators), the services of the Ministry of Culture adopted a rigorous heritage policy to protect the cave, ensure its security and to acquire the property on which it is located in order to create an archaeological reserve that would be the property of the State. Environmental studies of the enti…

A laboratory cave for the study of wall degradation in rock art caves
Dynamique sédimentaire et taphonomie des abris-sous-roche et des porches de grotte en milieu périglaciaire
Le programme Gavarnie permet de documenter la dynamique sédimentaire et les processus taphonomiques qui se déroulent dans les porches de grottes et d’abris sous roche en contexte périglaciaire actuel dans les Pyrénées centrales. Les enregistrements thermiques effectués dans une petite grotte montrent que le régime est sensiblement plus doux dans la cavité qu’à l’extérieur, principalement en raison de l’isolation du sol par une congère de neige en…

Re-establishing an underground climate appropriate for the conservation of the prehistoric paintings and engravings at Lascaux
The prehistoric paintings and engravings of the Lascaux cave almost disappeared in the 1960s, victims of their own fame. The facilities installed to allow public access to the cave disturbed and destabilized the equilibrium which had been responsible for conserving the cave's art. The complexity of the parameters at play raised the question: had the age-old equilibrium, which had kept the rock art in such excellent condition, been irretrievably d…
Microclimate analysis of deteriorated wall paintings
The restoration of deteriorated wall paintings in an underground environment requires at the outset a complex analytical approach designed to clarify the deterioration processes. These can be identified and prioritized using continuous microclimatic monitoring with multichannel analytical loggers, providing abundant data on climatology, airflow and hydrogeology in real or semireal time. The investigator can therefore have an almost instantaneous …
