Talk:Grotte du Renne

Untitled

This article's title should be "Grotte du Renne" (which is french for Reindeer's grotto). "Grotte de Renne" would mean grotto/cave from Renne which simply doesn't mean anything in that case as it it not referring to any place called Renne. Please use the correct naming of this cave/grotto as used in the literature.80.14.28.30 (talk) 01:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

--- Yes, it should be "Grotte du Renne". Also, an recent article should be referenced (its conclusions are completely opposite to those explained in the entry): The Reality of Neandertal Symbolic Behavior at the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France ( http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0021545 ). Another relevant references in the same line will be:

Many awls in our argument. Bone tool manufacture and use from the Chatelperronian and Aurignacian layers of the Grotte du Renne at Arcy-sur-Cur.

Finally, the main and original source (main archaeological publication) is not properly referenced. It is:
