Abstract
A narrow passageway of Rochelot cave containing an accumulation of mam malian bones dating to a temperate period prior to an early Wurmian pl eniglacial (end of Oxygen Isotope stage 5) contains human remains. The composition and taphonomic study identify hyena as the agent of this accumulation. Six human teeth could belong to the same individual, a N eandertal brought into the cave by hyena.
