It contains abundant cave bear remains, as well as a human skull. The skull is radiocarbon dated to 30,150 ± 800, indication an absolute age between 40,000 and 30,000 BP. It was uncovered in 1952.

This mosaic of features mirrors that seen in the Peștera cu Oase find, indicating possible Neanderthal admixture or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
