Description
Gytheion, Lakonis Cave. The tooth of a male Neanderthal, along with animal bone including rhinoceros, wild boar, and deer (indicating a warmer climate at that time) were discovered in 2002 in an excavation directed by E. Panagopoulou (EPSNE). Data on diet from strontium isotope analysis of the tooth (M. Richards and K. Charvati [Max Planck Institute]) reveal that the Neanderthal spent his early years in a more mountainous area (at least 30km from the area of the cave).
