Female silhouettes and sexual representations complete the iconography, along with numerous finger tracings. This latter form of expression was made possible by the tender, medium to fine-grained, texture of the cave wall surface. All of the figures on the walls and the clayey floor are engraved. Only a few red finger tracings disturb this homogeneity. Human presence in the cave is also attested by numerous skeletal remains found in several depressions in the floor (cave bear hollows) that are located several meters from each other. One of these contains a nearly complete human skeleton with several bones in anatomical connection. Cave bear claw marks are also mingled with the parietal representations, but are always located under them, and thus predate them. These can be associated with the bear hollows that are dug into the clay floor.
The archaic nature of these figures, along with certain graphic conventions, suggest they were realized during an early phase of the Upper Paleolithic, most likely the Gravettian (28,000 to 22,000 years ago), or less likely, the Aurignacian (35,000 to 28,000 years ago). These conventions include certain paw extremities traced by an "X", juxtaposed limb attachments (absence of perspective), and horns represented frontally on bodies shown in profile. A first graphic analysis has revealed some affinities with parietal art in the Quercy region, particularly with the cave of Pech Merle. The Dordogne River could thus mark the limit of the extension of Perigordian art, at least during this early period.
