Jenne. Mora Cavoso Cave

The Mora Cavoso cave is located in Jenne at an altitude of 715 m above sea level and here the remains were unearthed of at least 23 human burials with their prehistoric tools.

The radiocarbon analysis have dated these findings to 5369 years BC, the early Neolithic age.

In a burial site of a young man was found a serpentine lithic axe, two shaped flint blades and fragments of a vase decorated with linear incisions.

In this area were also found remains of animals dating back to 7950 years BC (Mesolithic) and some of the Pleistocene that demonstrate how man has lived in this area since the late glacial phase.
