Cueva Antón, Archaeological site in Mula, Spain.
Located at the base of a 25-meter limestone cliff along the Río Mula, this cave contains four meters of sediment layers for archaeological research.
The discovery of a shell with orange pigment dating back 43,000 years provided evidence of Neanderthal presence and their use of decorative objects.
The cave reveals information about Neanderthal communities through recovered artifacts, including stone tools and remnants of their hunting activities.
Researchers and visitors can reach the archaeological site by following marked paths from the municipality of Mula in southeastern Spain.
The sediment layers within the cave contain preserved animal remains that help scientists reconstruct the environmental conditions of prehistoric times.
