Heritage
The past year has been an exciting one for our heritage. In September, an international team led by the Gibraltar Museum published the results of recent work at Gorham's Cave demonstrating that Gibraltar was the final resting place of the last Neanderthals. Not since the unearthing of the Neanderthal skull in 1848 has there been such an important scientific discovery in Gibraltar. The results were published in the prestigious journal ‘Nature' and there was unprecedented coverage for Gibraltar's heritage worldwide, with over three hundred reports and articles having appeared in over thirty countries.
