Outline of Final Research Achievements

A new infant skeleton, which was discovered at 2008-2009 field campaign from the Dederiyeh cave in Syria, was described and compared morphologically, after cleaning, individual sorting and restoration of the collected bone samples. Based on the morphology of the well-preserved femur, and the Neanderthal-like proportion of the pubic bone / femoral length, this individual was found to be a Neanderthal infant.
Furthermore, the chemical composition analysis of soil matrix samples that adhered to the unearthed human bones and animal bones indicated that a set of bones (upper arm + femoral shaft fragments) were found in a specific depositional environment. According to this and morphological assessment, this set was possibly identified as a different individual. The other human bones were assumed as a same individual, once buried in a deposit but scattered after a substantial duration of taphonomy process.
