​The CAVE PROJECT  proposes an integrated approach based on an analysis of the various palaeoclimatic archives from caves and karst deposits. Of these, the most important are the stable isotope analyses and absolute dating in speleothems (mostly calcite formations in caves) and property analyses of fluviatile, lacustrine and other cave sediments. Most of the above deposits contain information relevant to the paleoclimate evolution at a regional scale and sometimes show evidence or archaeological materials correlated with human occupation.
