الوصف

الشكل

The Kleine Feldhofer Grotte was a karst Kalksteinhöhle (limestone cave) with interior dimensions of 3 m width, 5 m length and 3 m height.

تفاصيل أخرى

The cave was destroyed in the 19th century by industrial limestone quarrying, which widened the gorge. The site of the cave soon fell into oblivion and was unknown around 1900. In 1997, during a successful search for the site of the cave and its deposits, 24 human bone fragments were found, one of which, identified as “NN 13”, fitted exactly onto the left lateral femur. During the excavation in 2000, thousands of artifacts were recovered.

التاريخ

In August 1856, bones of Neanderthal specimens were excavated in the cave (→ Neandertal 1). Miners of the Mettmann quarry owner Wilhelm Beckershoff excavated a skullcap and a series of skeletal bones that were to be designated as Neanderthal.

الأحياء

The bones belong to at least three different individuals. The mitochondrial DNA of two bone samples was completely sequenced and completed in 2009.
