Synopsis

Excerpt from The Men of the Barma-Grande, Baousse-Rousse: An Account of the Objects Collected in the Museum Praehistoricum Today many who visit the sunny slopes of the Riviera make an excursion to the Baousse-Rousse to view the remains of prehistoric men found in the caves. For the researches, carried on without intermission by M. Abbo since February 1892, resulted in the discovery of five more skeletons which were left on the spot. Many relics of primitive handiwork met with in the proximity of the human bones, or at a lower level, show us what the ancient inhabitants of the Mediterranean coast were capable of doing. But the importance of these finds can only be properly appreciated by a small band of scientific specialists. A few amateurs may derive some profit from their excursions to the Baousse-Rousse; but, it must be said, that the majority of tourists who are ungrounded in prehistoric lore go away without any perceptible increase of knowledge. There was no convenient hand-book to explain to them the interest of the objects upon which they gazed. Yet works devoted to the caves of the "Red Rocks" are comparatively numerous; but they consist of technical memoranda, scattered moreover through a mass of publications which are difficult of access, or of large volumes which would take too long to read.
