Quote from Cork Uni (link below) -

An important site of prehistoric abstract signs (aviforms), dating back to the era of Solutrean art, Placard Cave (Grotte du Placard) lies on the right bank of the River Tardoire, a few kilometres from La Rochefoucauld, in the Charente. It is traditionally grouped together with three other archeological sites of Franco-Cantabrian cave art - all of whom contain similar bird-like abstract symbols - namely, Pech Merle Cave (25,000 BCE) near Cabrerets, and Cougnac Cave (23,000 BCE) near Gourdon, both in the Lot, and Cosquer Cave (25,000 BCE) at Calanque de Morgiou near Marseilles. Because Placard Cave is the only one of the four rock shelters whose rock art has been directly dated (to 17,500-18,000 BCE), the strange aviforms it contains are now known as "Placard-type signs", even though the earliest art of this type was created at Pech Merle, during the Gravettian. To see how Le Placard Cave fits into the chronology of Paleolithic culture, see: Prehistoric Art Timeline (from 2.5 million BCE).
