Abstract
Gorham’s Cave (Gibraltar) is currently the site with the most recent dates for Neanderthal presence in the world. The stratigraphy of late Neanderthal occupation of Gorham’s Cave is dated between 33 and 24 ka BP. This paper presents the analysis of the lithic industry from these statigraphic levels. This study establishes that this assemblage is undoubtedly Mousterian.
