Gruta Nova da Columbeira, Portugal


Fundort: Gruta Nova da Columbeira, Portugal, Leiria, Portugal
Taxon: Homo neanderthalensis aus der Familie Hominidae
Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils,mesofossils,microfossils, Absolute dating carried out at the site offered an estimated chronological range between the MIS-5 and the early MIS-3 (35.9, 54.4, 60.9, and 101.5 ka BP) (Raposo & Cardoso, 1998) by U-series dating, the standard deviations being overly high. However, the main Neanderthal occupation corresponds to Level 8 (with the greatest turtle ensemble) whose U-series dating on a large bone of Dicerorhinus hemitoechus has offered a result of 87.1 ± 6.3 ka BP (Zilh˜ao et al., 2011).
