Remains of Neolithic houses and various tent constructions were also discovered in the cave  The research led to the conclusion that the cave was used in the 4th century of our era, as well as in the period from the 12th to the 15th century.

Also, it was determined that in the time of the first Serbian uprising, potassium nitrate was taken out of the cave in order to produce gunpowder. What makes this cave so unique is the fact that it is the richest and most significant paleolithic site in Serbia, the only gravettian site in the region of the Western Balkans, and certainly one of the richest and most important upper paleolithic sites in Southeast Europe.
