Discovery in a cave in Circeo: remains of nine Neanderthals, including a teenager and a woman, in a cave once used as a den by packs of hyenas. There are also remains of enormous animals such as cave bears, cave lions, and giant deer. The cave was inhabited 100,000 to 60,000 years ago, when the entrance collapsed. It was rediscovered by chance in 1939, when the first Neanderthal remains were found. Both the 1939 remains and the current ones contain skulls split in the same way. The current finds reveal the use of techniques unknown at the time of the original discovery.
