HALABELLA | El Sidron: Largest Collection of Neanderthal fossils In Europe @halabella6 | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
El Sidrón is a karst cave located in the Asturias region of northern Spain. This cave system stretches into the adjacent hillside at a length of approximately 2.5 miles or 3.7 km, with a large central hall approximately 650 ft or 200 mlong.In this cave, the skeletal remains of a group of 13 Neanderthals were discovered.Through dental investigations, it was suggested that the individuals identified at El Sidrón include seven adults, three adolescents between 12 and 15 years of age, two juveniles between 5 and 9 years of age, and one infant.
All of the human remains found at the site were recovered within a single deposit, called Stratum III and analysis of mitochondrial DNA supports the hypothesis that the 13 individuals represent a family group although some scientists do not agree.The part of the cave containing Neanderthal fossils is called the Ossuary Gallery.The Ossuary Gallery also known as Galería del Osario in Spanish is a small lateral gallery, discovered in 1994 by cave explorers, who stumbled across human remains and named it assuming it was a deliberate burial.
At first, the bones were believed to date to the Spanish Civil War. Back then, Republican fighters used the cave as a hide-out. The police discovered more bone fragments in El Sidrón, which they sent to forensic scientists, who determined that the bones did not belong to soldiers, or even to modern humans. They were the remains of Neanderthals who died 50,000 years ago.Looking at the bones can be a bit unsettling, and not just because they’re remnants of an extinct species of archaic humans but because these Neanderthal bone fragments belonged to individuals who were the victims of cannibalism.
