Shanidar Z — The 75,000-Year-Old Neanderthal Woman Whose Crushed Skull Was Rebuilt From More Than 200 Pieces
The Kurdish people have a continuous cultural relationship with this landscape.
The cave is part of a region with deep historical and cultural significance that extends far beyond its Neanderthal occupation.
When international research teams excavate there — as the Cambridge team has been doing since 2015 — they do so in collaboration with local institutions and with awareness of the significance of the site to the people who live near it.
The Kurdish Regional Government’s antiquities authorities are involved in the research process.
Local specialists have worked alongside the international team.
