  • The Paglicci cave or Grotta Paglicci is located near Rignano Garganico, Apulia, in southern Italy. Discovered in the 1950s, the cave is an important archaeological site documenting life in the Paleolithic period. In addition to artifact finds and zooarchaeological information, the cave provides evidence of the harvesting of wild oats ca. 36,000 BCE. The cave also includes Paleolithic mural art.
