ABOUT
We want to provide a forum to discuss new insights into Neanderthal hunting behaviour. We aim to discuss how Neanderthal weaponry can be identified in the lithic record and how we can assess which components of the faunal assemblages are related to hunting events.
​
Our virtual seminar series will consist of a series of presentations on Zoom with interactive Q&A sessions. Registration has now closed.
​
We look forward to your contribution and participation!
