Sito archeologico di Salzgitter-Lebenstedt, Archaeological site in Salzgitter, Germany.
The excavation site covers an area of 400 square meters, located near a water treatment plant at a depth of 5 meters below ground level.
Discovered in 1952, this site contains approximately 840 flint artifacts and bone materials dating back 50,000 years to the Middle Paleolithic period.
The location reveals systematic hunting patterns of Neanderthals who targeted reindeer, mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, bison, wild horses, and giant deer for sustenance.
The site lies at an elevation of 82 meters above sea level at the southern edge of the North European Plain, north of present-day Salzgitter-Lebenstedt.
Two Neanderthal skull fragments found at this location represent the northernmost human remains discovered from this period in Germany.
