This article's title should be "Grotte du Renne" (which is french for Reindeer's grotto). "Grotte de Renne" would mean grotto/cave from Renne which simply doesn't mean anything in that case as it it not referring to any place called Renne. Please use the correct naming of this cave/grotto as used in the literature.80.14.28.30 (talk) 01:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

--- Yes, it should be "Grotte du Renne". Also, an recent article should be referenced (its conclusions are completely opposite to those explained in the entry): The Reality of Neandertal Symbolic Behavior at the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France ( http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0021545 ). Another relevant references in the same line will be:

The Invisible Frontier. A Multiple Species Model for the Origin of Behavioral Modernity, FRANCESCO D’ERRICO, Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews Volume 12, Issue 4, pages 188–202, 2003 ( http://www.cognisud.org/documents/030919/derrico1.pdf )

Many awls in our argument. Bone tool manufacture and use from the Chatelperronian and Aurignacian layers of the Grotte du Renne at Arcy-sur-Cur. Francesco D'errico, Michèle Julien, Despina Liolios, Marian Vanhaeren, Dominique Baffier; 2003. In: The Chronology of the Aurignacian and of the Transitional Technocomplexes. Dating, Stratigraphies, Cultural Implications, J. Zilhão & F. d'Errico (Eds.) (Ed.) (2003) 247-270 ( http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00444117/ )

Finally, the main and original source (main archaeological publication) is not properly referenced. It is:

Chronologie des grottes d'Arcy-sur-Cure (Yonne). In: Gallia préhistoire. Tome 7, 1964. pp. 1-64.

In a few words: Entry is heavily biased — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.84.14.121 (talk) 16:33, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
