This paper synthesises footprint data from nine naturally sealed caves documented in Pastoors and Lenssen-Erz (2021), supplemented by five post-publication studies. The footprint record shows that cave visitors frequently comprised multi-generational groups including small children, with direct evidence of child play at multiple sites. Behavioural patterns are consistent across caves spanning from the Aurignacian through the Mesolithic: small groups, children present in deep zones, spatially structured activity, and rare visitation. At the three sites with high-confidence recording windows, between one and four visits are documented across periods ranging from 700 to 15,000 years. A preservation asymmetry is identified: footprints survive preferentially in deep, undisturbed zones where transient and exploratory activity occurred, while zones of sustained occupation tend to destroy footprint evidence. The dataset spans periods with markedly different demographic conditions, from the Aurignacian when the entire European metapopulation may have numbered in the low thousands through the Late Glacial population expansion, yet the behavioural patterns remain consistent throughout.
