Gorham's Cave Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the eastern side of the Rock of Gibraltar, is a significant archaeological location featuring four sea caves that reveal over 100,000 years of Neanderthal occupation. The site offers exceptional evidence of Neanderthal cultural traditions, including hunting practices, use of feathers for ornamentation, and abstract rock engravings, alongside insights into early modern human activity. Its scientific importance lies in contributing to our understanding of human evolution and adaptation across millennia.
