Cavernes du Périgord. Objets gravés et sculptés des temps pré-historiques dans l’Europe occidentale.
Revue archéologique, 9, 233-67. aux Bureaux de la Revue archéologique, 1864.
In 1863 Lartet and Christy began systematically examining the caves in the Périgord (Dordogne) region of France. This study of mobiliary or portable art, such as carved stones, carved ivory, carved bones, or carved reindeer antlers, is the founding work on Upper Paleolithic art, and one of the earliest publications to illustrate Paleolithic art.
