Some of the objects are shaped from the flint present on the slopes of the Cornafion. However, some of these pieces are made of flint from the south of the Vercors.

The ruin resting on the rock of the Vert Pass testifies to a place of arrest for these exchanges.

Not far from the cold Font fountain and the path that leads to the Col de l'Arc is a south-facing slope. Sheltered by the wind, it was frequented by prehistoric men around 10,000 BC. , as the glaciers disappeared.More than 1,000 objects in flint were discovered as a result of work carried out for the capture of the nearby fountain.
