Résumé
This paper provides a synthesis of the multi-disciplinary research which has gone on the La Belle-Roche site (Sprimont, Belgium) for the last thirteen years. This «fossil» cave or palaeokarst has yielded deposits from the Early Middle Pleistocene, a remarkably rich and varied fauna of the Upper Cromerian (around 500,000 years old) and a prehistoric industry involving pebble tools which is by far the oldest traces of human occupation in the Benelux.
