Paviland Cave or Goat's Hole Cave produced the Red "Lady" of Paviland, an Upper Paleolithic partial male skeleton dyed in red ochre and buried in Wales 33,000 BP years ago.
Goat's Hole was occupied throughout prehistory. Artefacts are predominantly Aurignacian but also include examples from the earlier Mousterian, and later Gravettian and Creswellian periods. The site is the oldest known ceremonial burial in Western Europe.
