A sleeping area and more than 10,000 Neanderthal artifacts have been found in a cave in Catalonia.
The existence of Neanderthals sleeping areas is a singularity in the world archaeological record. This type of record is only similar at some archaeological sites belongs to the Homo sapiens populations. This behaviour has been also recognized through the ethnological and ethnographical studies focused on the actual hunter-gatherer groups in different parts of the world. We would point out that the sleeping areas have been also identified before in the level N of the Abric Romaní site (dated around 50 000 years ago) and published in the Current Anthropology revue in 2011.
