Late Neandertals in Central Italy. High-resolution chronicles from Grotta dei Santi (Monte Argentario, Tuscany)

Abstract

Most of the Middle Palaeolithic evidence of Central Italy still lacks a reliable chrono-cultural framework mainly due to research history. In this context Grotta dei Santi, a wide cave located on Monte Argentario, on the southern coast of Tuscany, is particularly relevant as it contains a very well preserved sequence including several Mousterian layers.
