The Neanderthal skull from Monte Circeo was found in 1939 on Mount Circeo, about 100 km south of Rome.
In the central part of the cave, there was a bowl-shaped structure made of stones. The skull—or rather, what remained of it—had been placed inside. Some facial bones and parts of the cranial vault on the right side were missing. Most of the teeth had been knocked out. A fragment of a lower jaw was found nearby.
All of this pointed to ritual cannibalism. Despite the damage, the skull is well-preserved and is currently displayed in the "Pigorini" Italian museum. The third photo shows a bust reconstruction of the murdered Neanderthal.
In our workshop, you can order a replica of any hominid skull. If you cannot find the skull you need in the catalog, catalog!
