Neanderthals and archaic modern humans at Shanidar Cave: new excavations at an iconic Palaeolithic site (17/09/2019)
Conférence organisée en collaboration avec HCECR
Conférencier
Graeme Barker (University of Cambridge, UK)
Résumé
Shanidar Cave is an iconic Palaeolithic site as a result of 1951-1960 excavations by Ralph Solecki. His most remarkable discoveries were the skeletal remains of 10 Neanderthals (men, women and children). Shanidar Cave has been central to debates ever since about how similar or different were Neanderthals and our own species, and the reasons for the demise of Neanderthals about 40,000 years ago. In this lecture Professor Graeme Barker (University of Cambridge, UK) will discuss some of the results that are emerging from the new excavations that he has been directing in Shanidar Cave since 2015.
