A slice of time
The illustration captures a moment of daily life at Le Vallonnet Cave in Roquebrune - Cap-Martin, 1.2 million years ago. It depicts a group of Homo erectus resting inside the historic cave, sleeping on a bedding surface made of Posidonia seagrass and animal furs.
Created in collaboration with the Musée de Préhistoire de Menton and École de Condé Nice (France), this illustration contributes to an archaeological exhibition that traces the evolution of the region through its landscapes and human presence.
