Description
Morphology
Currently most of the caves that make up the Prehistoric Caves Park of Serinyà are blurred with respect to their original form. A large part of their ceilings, when not the entire cavity, are collapsed and the areas that have not yet been excavated remain completely refilled with sediments, essentially clay and travertine fragments, which hide the forms and the location of the walls. The Reclau Viver one, for being completely excavated and for having a piece of intact ceiling, is the one that best shows us its original morphology.
History
In 1947, Dr. Josep Mª Corominas made a small test pit where he worked for two days, but abandoned it to dedicate the following thirty years to the nearby sites of Reclau Viver, cova d'en Pau and cova de Mollet. It is not until 1972 that, together with Dr. Oliva and Messrs. Canal Roquet, Bedoya O'Neale and Comas Masgrau, they undertake the excavations in the cavity.
