The Field Museum and The Leakey Foundation sponsor a presentation by Dr. Jean Clottes, a Leakey Foundation grantee and prominent French prehistorian. Dr. Clottes took a leading role in the study of two of the most famous prehistoric painted caves discovered to date: the underwater Cosquer cave, discovered in 1985 in cliffs at the shore near Marseille; and the spectacular Chauvet Cave, discovered in 1991. Clottes explains the complexities of the subject, his experience and knowledge gained from viewing cave paintings around the world.
