Abstract
In the Lazaret cave (Nice), the study of soil micromorphology has reve aled palaeostructures with a microaggregate facies as well as a round or flat morphology. Observations were performed in the middle of strat igraphic layer C of the archaeological filling which probably belongs to isotopic stage 6. The specific characteristics of these palaeostruc tures are compared to those observed in certain recent sites which und erwent a cold and wet climate. From this comparison, it can be inferre d that layer C might have been formed under similar climatic condition s.
