I was done with my marvelous answer, when he withdrew his question, so here's my answer:
Archeological artifacts in caves have less exposure to the elements, so therefore, make a convenient laboratory for the scientists. Campfire remains made out in the open (by non-cavemen?) no doubt became scattered, destroyed by the elements, build upon, farmed upon or whatever!
But caves are nicely isolated, controlled areas of study, so it can be assumed that fires began in them. So, unless we hear from one of the Geico Cavemen, and they can verify some of these facts, I believe that it is merely speculation!
Now I offer you the opportunity to answer this question, too!
