Description

Morphology

Currently most of the caves that make up the Parc de les Coves Prehistòriques de Serinyà are blurred with respect to their original form. A large part of their ceilings, when not directly the entire cavity, are collapsed and the areas that have not yet been excavated remain completely refilled with sediments, essentially clay and fragments of travertine, which hide the forms and the location of the walls. The one of the Reclau Viver, for being completely excavated and for having a piece of intact ceiling, is the one that best shows us its original morphology.

History

Dr. Josep Mª Corominas excavated it during the first fortnight of October 1973.
