HISTORY In March 1868 , the geologist Louis Lartet , financed by Henry Christy , discovered the first five Skeleton s of Cro-Magnon s, the earliest known examples of '' Homo Sapiens Sapiens '', in the Cro-Magnon rock shelter at Les Eyzies-de-Tayac. These skeletons included a fetus, and the skulls found were remarkably modern looking and much rounder than the earlier Neanderthal . The Dordogne is split into four areas: the Périgord Vert (green), the Périgord Blanc (white), the Périgord Pourpre (purple) and the Périgord Noir (black). Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil lies in the Périgord Noir area. EXTERNAL LINKS
