Small Game and Marine Resource Exploitation by Neanderthals: The Evidence from Gibraltar

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology ((IDCA))

Abstract

Debates surrounding Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Humans (AMH) tend to focus primarily on discussions of cognitive ability, as exemplified by perceived differences in stone tool technology, behaviour and extinction outcomes. One of the primarily cited differences involves the subsistence strategies practised by these different groups of humans (Brown 2009).
