Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The discoveries made in the newly found chamber reportedly include a number of animal and avian bones, as well as a large dog whelk shell. A previously sealed chamber that remained isolated from the world for thousands of years has been discovered recently by researchers excavating the Gorham\u2019s Cave complex located at the Rock of Gibraltar, which was occupied by Neanderthals “for a thousand centuries” in the distant past, The Guardian reports.<\/p>\n

According to the newspaper, this discovery was made when a team led by Professor Clive Finlayson, evolutionary biologist and director of the Gibraltar National Museum, stumbled upon a gap in the sediment which led them to a “13-metre space in the roof of the cave.”<\/p>\n

The findings made inside the chamber included a number of bones, such as a leg bone from a lynx, vertebrae from a spotted hyena and a large wing bone from a griffon vulture, with Prof. Finlayson suggesting that “something dragged things into there a long time ago”.<\/p>\n

The team also reportedly discovered a large dog whelk shell there, with the professor saying: “That bit of the cave is probably 20 metres above sea level today, so clearly somebody took it up there some time before 40,000 years ago.”<\/p>\n

The newspaper also notes that the researchers believe clues about the existence and society of the so-called Mediterranean Neanderthals could be found in the new area.<\/p>\n
