Archaeological digs

The first dig at Cedarc dates back to the Late Palaeolithic and yields abundant reindeer antlers, glacial fauna and a few flint tools. The top of the layers contains a few shreds of a Neolithic collective burial site, excavated in the early 20th century by the MRAH.

In collaboration with the University of Liège and the Cercle archéologique des Fagnes, excavations at the Trou de l'Abîme in Couvin were resumed, with the discovery of a Neanderthal milk tooth dating from around 45,000 years ago, associated with a Mousterian industry and Quaternary fauna.

Also with ULiège, the excavation of the Enragés Gallo-Roman villa at Vodelée was resumed at the request of local residents, as the previous excavation team had abandoned the site.

Cedarc is excavating a large Bronze Age marcht at the Terre de David in Olloy-sur-Viroin, as well as the difficult caving excavation of the Celtic occupation of the Grotte de la Roche Albéric in Couvin, with the help of a large number of archaeologist friends.
