La Ferrassie is an archaeological site in Savignac-de-Miremont, in the Dordogne department, France. The site, located in the Vézère valley, consists of a large and deep cave flanked by two rock shelters within a limestone cliff, under which there is a scree slope formation.
Artifacts found at the site are the productions of Mousterian , Aurignacian , and Périgordian cultures. The cave area contains Gravettian objects and the scree contains objects from all these ages as well as the Châtelperronian . The site was abandoned during the Gravettian period . Complex Mousterian burial structures found at La Ferrasie finally provided the evidence of Neanderthal burial practice.
