And a beautiful paper on the ✨amazing✨ carnivores from La Sima de los Huesos, #Atapuerca by Nuria Garcia & collagues - stunning fossils 😍!

Study of bone alterations in more than 29 skeletons recovered from this #Atapuerca site, showing that these fossils were affected principally by postmortem modification processes, such as fracturing due to sediment pressure and the precipitation of minerals.

A new study ratifies that carnivores did not participate in the accumulation of human remains in the Sima de los Huesos

This hand axe, called 'Excalibur', is the only stone tool found at Sima de los Huesos #Atapuerca

It is carved in red quartz, a rock that is not often found in the region.

Perhaps placed as an offering at site, used as a "cemetary" 400 kya

¡Felicidades @FATAPUERCA! 👏👏Hoy se celebra el 20 aniversario de la declaración de #Atapuerca como #PatrimoniodelaHumanidad y todavía en nuestra retina la exposición “Atapuerca y la evolución humana”, con la que el @MuseoAlmeria arrancaba su programación allá por el 2006.
