• Top drawing : longitudinal-section drawing of the cave profile with its archaeological layers. « Niveau de la vallée » is the level of the valley (river Cure).The scale is ½ cm/m (see bottom left of that drawing). From left to right : « Eboulis des pentes » (« slope scree », a large part of it coming from the collapse of the advancing part of the roof). C1 : Mousterian. C2 : Magdalenian (this was a mistake, as believed at the begining of the 20th century. The lower part of the C2 layer corresponds to the Châtelperronian and its upper part to the Aurignacian) ; C3 : engraved bones (« os gravés ») (Gravettian period) ; C4 : Solutrean ; C5 : Magdalenian (in its right place) ; C6 : Neolithic.
• Bottom left drawing : map of the cave. North is to the right side (as shown with the « N » at the end of the gallery in the bottom left drawing). From south to north : « antichambre » (antechamber) ; “chambre” ; gallery. Point « α » (cross-section point, bottom right drawing) is at the end of the chamber, at the entrance of the gallery.
• Bottom right drawing : cross-section drawing of the cave's archaeological layers found at point « α » (see bottom left drawing). From bottom to top : « Gros sable granitique » (large granitic sand) ; « Sable fin » (fine sand) ; « Eboulis et sable, couche 1 » (scree and sand, layer n° 1) ; « Sable et limon » (sand and limon) ; « Eboulis, sable et limon » - both latter layers shown as « C2 layer ; « Couche 3, rouge (red) ; « Couche 4, jaune » (yellow) - both latter layers shown as « Eboulis » (scree).
