Abstract in brief
- The study explores Neanderthal activity at Cueva Des-Cubierta in central Spain through archaeological findings, particularly focusing on a specific cave level.
- Evidence shows that large ungulate skulls were brought into the cave after the rest of the animal was processed elsewhere, suggesting a distinct pattern of behavior.
- The repetitive presence of these skulls hints at a symbolic rather than subsistence-driven purpose behind this behavior.

Neanderthals and the cult of the bull? I think we should pay attention to ungulates when looking at Neanderthals? Where they pushed out of existence? How Did they fit into Egypt, or did they? https://t.co/pqbOWHnq9Y
