The Goyet Caves (French: Grottes de Goyet) are a series of connected caves located in Wallonia in a limestone cliff about 15 m (50 ft) above the river Samson near the village of Mozet in the Gesves municipality of the Namur province, Belgium. The site is a significant locality of regional Neanderthal and European early modern human occupation, as thousands of fossils and artifacts were discovered that are all attributed to a long and contiguous stratigraphic sequence from 120,000 years ago, the Middle Palaeolithic to less than 5.000 years ago, the late Neolithic. A robust sequence of sediments was identified during extensive excavations by geologist Edouard Dupont, who undertook the first probings as early as 1867. The site was added to the Belgian National Heritage register in 1976.

  • De grotten van Goyet bevinden zich iets ten zuiden van het Belgische gehucht Goyet (Gesves), meer bepaald waar de in de Samson loopt. Het is een van de belangrijkste prehistorische sites van België en zelfs van Europa. De locatie is sedert 1976 beschermd. (nl)
  • As Cavernas Goyet são uma série de cavernas conectadas localizadas na Valônia em um penhasco de calcário a cerca de 15 m acima do rio Samson, perto da aldeia de Mozet, no município de Gesves na província de Namur, na Bélgica. O local é uma localidade significativa de ocupação humana, já que milhares de fósseis e artefatos foram descobertos, todos atribuídos a uma longa e contígua sequência estratigráfica. Uma sequência robusta de sedimentos foi identificada durante extensas escavações pelo geólogo Edouard Dupont, que realizou as primeiras sondagens já em 1867. (pt)
  • Las cuevas de Goyet (en francés: Grottes de Goyet) son una serie de cuevas conectadas situadas en Valonia en un acantilado de piedra caliza a unos 15 m por encima del río Samson, cerca del pueblo de Mozet en el municipio de Gesves de la provincia de Namur, Bélgica. El yacimiento es una localidad significativa de la ocupación regional de los neandertales y de los primeros humanos modernos europeos, ya que se descubrieron miles de fósiles y artefactos que se atribuyen a una larga y contigua secuencia estratigráfica desde hace 120.000 años, el Paleolítico Medio, hasta hace menos de 5.000 años, el Neolítico tardío. Durante las extensas excavaciones realizadas por el geólogo Edouard Dupont, que realizó los primeros sondeos ya en 1867, se identificó una sólida secuencia de sedimentos.​​ El yacim (es)
  • Les grottes de Goyet se trouvent sur le cours du ruisseau du Struviaux, un peu au sud du hameau belge de Goyet, sur la commune de Gesves, en région du Condroz, dans la province de Namur. Elles sont plus précisément au confluent de ce ruisseau avec le Samson, lui-même affluent de la Meuse en rive droite. Le site est classé au patrimoine national de Belgique depuis 1976. Les grottes de Goyet font partie des quelques sites européens ayant livré à la fois des fossiles de Néandertaliens et d'Homo sapiens. (fr)
