An Entity of Type: cave, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kleine Feldhofer Grotte was a karstic limestone cave and a paleoanthropologic site in the Neander Valley in western Germany. In August 1856, the Neanderthal type specimen was unearthed from the cave. Miners uncovered a skull cap and a number of skeletal bones to be labeled Neanderthal. The bones belong to at least three distinct individuals. The cave was destroyed during the 19th century as a result of industrial-scale limestone quarrying which widened the gorge. The location of the cave was soon forgotten and by 1900, unknown.

  • Kleine Feldhofer Grotte was a karstic limestone cave and a paleoanthropologic site in the Neander Valley in western Germany. In August 1856, the Neanderthal type specimen was unearthed from the cave. Miners uncovered a skull cap and a number of skeletal bones to be labeled Neanderthal. The bones belong to at least three distinct individuals. The cave was situated in a limestone gorge with the interior dimensions of 3 m (9.8 ft) in width by 5 m (16 ft) in length by 3 m (9.8 ft) in height, and a 1 m (3.3 ft) opening 20 m (66 ft) above the valley floor in the south wall which was 50 m (160 ft) high. The cave got its name from the nearby large farm of the Feldhof. The cave was destroyed during the 19th century as a result of industrial-scale limestone quarrying which widened the gorge. The location of the cave was soon forgotten and by 1900, unknown. In 1997 a successful search for the site of the cave and its deposits yielded 24 fragments of human bone, one of which, identified as NN 13, fit exactly onto the left lateral femoral condyle of the Neanderthal 1 fossil. The 2000 excavation resulted in the recovery of thousands of artifacts. The mitochondrial DNA of two bone samples were fully sequenced, and completed in 2009. (en)

  • Kleine Feldhofer Grotte var tidigare en grotta i Neandertal i Nordrhein-Westfalen dagens Tyskland, där fossilerna från Neanderthal 1 hittades i augusti 1856. Grottan har senare förstörts under gruvdriften där man sprängt med dynamit och transporterat kalksten till Düsseldorf. Under 1920-talet blev området en park. (sv)
  • A Kleine Feldhofer Grotte (em português: Pequena Gruta de Feldhof) ou Neandershöhle (em português: Caverna Neander) é uma pequena gruta no sítio arqueológico no Vale de Neander a 20 km ao sul da cidade de Essen, na Alemanha. Nesta caverna foram descobertos 60 fragmentos ósseos de Neandertal, formando no mínimo três indivíduos distintos. A gruta de calcário de 3 metros de largura, 3 metros de altura e 5 metros de comprimento, sua abertura está na parede sul a 20 metros do nível do rio em um vale íngreme (desfiladeiro) de 53 metros de profundidade. A gruta recebe o nome da fazenda Feldhof, que fica nas proximidades. A caverna foi destruída pela exploração de pedreiras, que alargou o desfiladeiro. A localização da caverna foi esquecida por volta de 1900. Uma pesquisa bem sucedida em 1997 no sítio arqueológico da caverna e seus depósitos, resultam em 13 ossos que se encaixam exatamente sobre o lateral do fêmur esquerdo de um Neanderthal. A pesquisa 2000 recuperou milhares de artefatos. O DNA mitocondrial de dois espécimes desta caverna foi sequenciado em 2009, a sequência completa de ambas as amostras foi concluída. (pt)
