Q. "Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vezere Valley" is located in which country?
Answer: France
Notes: The "Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vezere Valley" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of France. Located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in the Department of the Dordogne of France, the Vezere Valley is a privileged prehistoric territory that contains more than 150 deposits dating back to Paleolithic times and about thirty decorated caves. This vast territory of roughly 30km by 40km is of outstanding interest from the ethnological, anthropological and aesthetic point of view with its cave paintings, in particular, those of the Lascaux Cave, discovered in 1940. It also enabled the establishment of a chronological cadre for the prehistoric civilizations of the European quaternary period. This property comprises 15 prehistoric sites that bear witness to a strong Paleolithic occupation: decorated caves, funerary places, workshops, exploitation areas for raw materials, habitats, hunting scenes. Furthermore, its potential as an archaeological reserve is considerable, as demonstrated by the discoveries carried out as preventive excavations since inscription on the World Heritage List.
