A cultic statuette of a horned bull was found in the cave. Other finds include the remains of a copper-age secondary burial ( Lengyel culture), stone tools, and a mammoth tooth. The finds included the forehead of a human skull, which was destroyed in 1956. The remains were the first evidence of Pleistocene settlement in the territory of present-day Slovakia. [6]
