Neanderthal Burials - Excavations of the Dederiyeh Cave

Edited by Akazawa Takeru and Sultan Muhesen

Hardcover, A4, 418 pp
A comprehensive study of the archaeological context and the cranial, dental, and postcranial anatomy of two remarkably well-preserved Neanderthal infants from the Dederiyeh Cave, in the Jordan Rift Valley, Syria. It is fully illustrated throughout with detailed photographs and diagrams. Consisting of 16 chapters by 27 contributors, plus a short introduction and conclusion, it also includes 4 chapters from the "Neanderthal Resuscitation Project," an attempt to show what one of the 2 subjects would have looked like in life.

It has been critically acclaimed for its contribution to our knowledge of Neanderthal ontogeny, and the Journal of Anthropological Research (vol. 59, 2003) stated that it "is a tour de force of anatomical description and analysis...and will be essential reading for anyone interested in Neanderthal anatomy or ontogeny."
