Remarkably well preserved but embedded in stalactites and covered in a thick layer of calcite, this skull has given the oldest known samples of Neanderthal DNA, dating back between 128,000 and 187,000 years ago [read more: https://t.co/HmSjDHVHOl] #AltamuraMan

My favorite thing about this absolutely beautiful Neanderthal is that, when it was discovered deep in a cave in 1993, scientists decided to leave it there out of fear that removing it might cause damage. It's still there today. 📸Museo Archeologico di Altamura #AltamuraMan

We digitally acquired the skeletal elements of #AltamuraMan by using #photogrammetry, laser scanner, portable x-rays devices and medical/industrial endoscopic equipment. Thanks to videoscope probes we studied in the cave bony elements that are not directly visible. 4/4

The skeleton of #AltamuraMan is stuck in calcareous concretions at the bottom of a sinkhole. The Altamura man lies in a corner of a small chamber called the “Apse of man” only accessible through narrow crevices and deep passages. 3/4

The #AltamuraMan is probably the most complete and well preserved skeleton in the entire non-modern fossil record. A research project, led by @gi_manzi, funded by #MIUR and authorized by the Archaeological Superintendence, has completed the scientific investigations in situ. 2/4

In our last work published on #PlosOne https://t.co/NVkjvAbbQ5 we describe the dental health status of #AltamuraMan. He had lost two teeth during his long life; he is also the first Neanderthal which has a bony protrusion (torus) on the palate. 1/4
