Are Adaouste and Audoste in Provence the same place?

I'm looking at Neolithic use of dyes in France. I've come across references to woad being used in Neolithic times in Adaouste, Bouches-du-Rhône, and in Audoste, Bouches-du-Rhône. Are these the same place? Google Maps doesn't recognise either name, and I've not found any other maps that enable me to compare their locations, nor any mention of them together in a reference.

Maybe someone from the region could help? If you could also point me to a Google Maps location for each, that would be great.

It is hard to proof a negative but the lack of sources does point very strongly that they are one and the same.

The cave is here It is also known as Grotte de la Davouste, Grotte des Lyonnais, Baume des Lyonnais. Other than a number of copies of basically the same text about the dye which state they have been found in the Audoste Cave, I can't seem to find any reference to that cave, it's probably a transcription error which then got copy-pasted in many places.

As my friend said, in the comment I posted on the question:

Although it's possible that there were two nearby caves with similar names, it seems very unlikely that all the palaentologists think they were the same one - someone would surely have commented on the remarkable double discovery in nearby locations!
