The diet of young Neandertals from France, Pech de l’Azé I and Hortus II, reconstructed using dental microwear texture analysis by Frank L’Engle Williams, Christopher W Schmidt, Jessica L Droke, Whitney M Karriger, Gaël Becam, Fred H Smith, Marie-Antoinette de Lumley

“…The comparative sample (n=76) includes deciduous molars from Neolithic forager-farmers of Belgium, including Caverne de la Cave at Maurenne (n=5), Sclaigneaux (n=7) and Bois Madame (n=6), Roman-era farmers from Herculaneum (n=15) and Medieval agriculturalists from Canterbury, England (n=43).
