Marcellina. Neanderthal Discoveries

In the Saccopastore gravel pit of the Aniene river bed, in "Le Fosse" and "The Caprine", two Neanderthal skeletons were found, one of a hominid squatting with the skull facing of the Neanderthal now dated to belong to the Neolithic age.

Throughout the Aniene Valley lived both Neanderthal man and Homo sapiens who hunted deer, wolves, and other prey.
