"In the end, Republicans will vote

said to out<
PARIS (AP) ? Archaeologists inching
through a cave suddenly found themselves
amid a stunning art show ? 300
glacial-era wall paintings of animals, a
20,000-year-old display that experts say
eclipses the cave art of Lascaux.
The paintings, discovered Dec. 24
in caves of the Ardeche River canyon

ons, bison, bears, panthers, mammoths,
owls, wild oxen, wild goats and woolly
rhinoceroses.
"We have there a selection of animals
infinitely more varied than the
other sites and with exceptional features,"
said Genevieve Martin, a specialist
for the Archaeological Service of
the Rhone-Alpes region.
The paintings show standing or galloping
groups of animals about 15 inches
high. Some rhinoceroses were shown
. fighting.
The Culture Ministry, announcing
the find Wednesday, called it "the only
totally intact and ornate network of
caves from the Paleolithic era."
The caves near Combe d'Arc are
about 1,500 feet deep in the Ardeche,
known for its grottos and subterranean
rivers. It is 260 miles south of Paris.
The discovery was not announced
until Wednesday so the site could be
protected. The caves, yet to be named,
were quickly protected by a heavy door

Meanwhile, Vice President A1 Gore,

"We have a core of support for doing
the right thing and moving forth expeditiously,"
Gore asserted, drawing on optimism

They "will not be opened to the public
so that the extremely fragile and precious
relics can be studied," said Jacques
Toubon, a culture minister. "Preservation
is our priority at the moment."
The ministry said it plans to show
the paintings to the public using video,
CD-ROM or other multimedia techniques.

a recreation in a similar cave is open to

"What was done at Lascaux is superb,"
said Nick Ashton, a researcher
at the British Museum's Department
of Prehistoric and Romano-British Antiquities.
"You're reducing the risk of
damage to the paintings from the humidity
brought in by human breath "
Jean-Marie Chauvet, guardian of
about 15 caves in the same area that
have prehistoric artifacts, stumbled upon
the art with two assistants during
an inspection tour, the Culture Ministry
said.
The caves also contained the bones
of about 100 bears still in their hibernation
nests, as well as hearths, flints
and torches. Archaeologists found bits
of clay, iron oxide and manganese that
were excavated to make paint.
