SpainZafarraya is known for a Neanderthal mandible found in a cave in 1983 by Cecilio Barroso and Paqui Medina [1]. The mandible has been dated to 30,000 years Before Present (BP), and at the time represented the youngest-known Neanderthal remains [1]. Near the mandible, Mousterian tools dated to 27,000 years BP were found [1]. The find was one of the first pieces of definite evidence showing that the presence of Neanderthals and modern humans overlapped in Europe for a significant period [1].
