In addition to the radius, fragments of the skull, two phalanx of hands and other bones have been found. Since there are no repeated elements, and since they are all of the same developmental stage and coherent, they are considered to be the same individual. “They’re from an adult, quite small, so we think maybe it could be a female. However, we don’t have pelvic thorns, so we can’t know.” They call him Anderere.
The First Osina of El Polvorín is not very accessible, but researchers did not go blind to it in the hope of finding human fossils, but were placed by a bone bag at the Museum of Archaeology of Bizkaia in 2020. That same year, Gómez Olivencia himself opened a bag with the bones of the fauna of El Polvorín and discovered a human vertebra that at that time did not give it any more importance. A couple of months later, another colleague met the phalanx of his hand and realized his Neanderthal morphology. “Because museums are also deposits.” Thus, in 2021, a research project was launched for the study of fauna and human remains, the interpretation of context and chronology.
