Abstract

The adjoining caves of Cae Gwyn and Ffynnon Beuno are situated in the Vale of Clwyd, North Wales. The caves wereexcavated in the 1880s and both yielded hyaena den faunas co-stratified with Palaeolithic artefacts. The aim of the present study is to reassess the nature and use of the artefacts and to define the chronologies of the use of these caves byhumans and other carnivores.
