Caours (French pronunciation: [ka.uʁ]; Picard: Cœu) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

Caours is situated some 3 miles (5 km) northeast of Abbeville, on the D482 road heading towards Saint-Riquier.

The fluvial deposits of the Somme around Caours have been well known to archaeologists in the latter part of the 20th century, are remains of a time when climate was more temperate.

A joint research programme by the INRAP and the CNRS in 2005, has produced interesting results about Neandertal man.

[4][5] The theory that once explained the disappearance of the Neandertals, the inability to adapt to climatic change has suddenly been put into perspective by the site of Caours.
