Laugerie Basse is an abri, a rock shelter rather than a cave, on the right bank of the Vézère River, across the bridge from the small tourist town of Les Eyzies. Laugerie Basse is about fifteen metres deep and fifty metres long. It is not completely excavated. The excavations carried out during the 1860s by Edouard Lartet did not accurately record the stratigraphy of the site.
