Abstract
The ''La Martina'' cave is located near Dinant (Belgium). Although the sediments had been shovelled out in the mid xlxth century, a calcitic breccia has provided prehistoric bones. We can distinguish a Pleistoc ene fauna with cave bear, one mesolithic burial place with two cromagn oid skeletons, from the 6th millenium BC, and some Holocene faunal rem ains.
