Obi-Rakhmat Grotto, Paleolithic archaeological site in Bostanliq District, Uzbekistan
The cave measures 20 meters in length, 9 meters in width, and reaches a height of 11.8 meters at an elevation of 1,250 meters.
Scientists discovered the grotto in 1962, leading to extensive excavations that revealed 22 distinct stratigraphic layers containing Neanderthal occupation evidence.
The site contains numerous stone tools, including core-burins, unidirectional blade cores, and Mousterian points, representing technological advances of early inhabitants.
The grotto stands near the intersection of Chatkal and Pskem Rivers in the Tien Shan Mountains, approximately 100 kilometers northeast of Tashkent.
Research on teeth fragments found in 2003 indicated they belonged to a juvenile Neanderthal aged 9-12 years with DNA connecting to European populations.
