This essay examines caves and rockshelters as key sources of information on the environments and adaptations of Paleolithic hunter‐gatherers. This class of sites is compared with open air sites, and the merits and problems of each class are discussed. The emphasis of the article is on the practical difficulties and limitations of cave/shelter excavation and analysis, and reviews methods useful in partially overcoming the basic problems of stratigraphic resolution, living floor definition and sampling. Caves and shelters are critically examined in the light of their qualities as shelter for humans and containers for sediments. The merits of salvage excavations and of witness sections are examined, and the central role of cave/shelter sites in Paleolithic studies is placed into focus
