'''Chancelade ''' is a commune in the Dordogne department in Aquitaine in southwestern France.
Chancelade is known for a prehistoric fossil discovery: the so-called Chancelade skeleton was found in the shelter of Raymonden in 1888. The way it was lying suggested a ritual burial. In 1889, Leo Testut announced that the skeleton was of a new race, which he called the " Chancelade race", the ancestor of the Eskimo. This hypothesis is now rejected, and the Chancelade race is considered to be a Cro-Magnon specimen.
The approximately 60-year-old Chancelade man stands 155 cm tall, with a very large brain size of around 1710cc.
The village is the site of Chancelade Abbey.
Usage examples of "chancelade".
A typical example from the Magdalenian period is the old man of Chancelade in the Dordogne, covered with red ochre, with arms and legs folded and the vertical column bent to such a degree that the skeleton only occupies a space little more than two feet long and sixteen inches wide.
