Site Typecave; rock shelterDescriptionPech de l’Azé is a cluster of four Lower and Middle Paleolithic sites (I-IV). They are situated 50 meters off of the floor of a small, usually dry, valley that runs into the Enéa, a small tributary of the Dordogne River. Pech de l’Azé I and II are opposite entrances of a single tunnel-like cave that intersects a promontory in the limestone cliff. Pech de l’Azé IV is a collapsed rock shelter roughly 80 meters east from the mouth of Pech I. Pech de l’Azé III is a small cave in the same cliff located about 30 meters west of the opening of Pech II.
