Gorham’s & Vanguard Caves on Governor’s Beach, Gibraltar.
(Top) Gibraltar today with a series of caves at its base. Gorham’s is second from the left. (Bottom) A reconstruction of late Neanderthal times. The sea is down by 80-120m. Exposed is a marshland, plains environment, rich in food resources that the Neanderthals exploited. (© Gibraltar Museum)
The picture makes it difficult for one to visualise ‘neanderthal Gib’ when comparing to the current photo. Were the caves on some sort of plateua/slope above sea levels at the time?
