And a bit of early commentary: http://www.therocksremain.org/2018/02/wherefore-art-thou-neanderthal.html

Crikey! You’re on the ball! I only went to put the kettle on!

Thanks for the links, I’ll take a proper look this evening if possible and hopefully they along with information in other articles may go some way to answer the queue of questions in my mind.
I presume the team was formed with the specific intention of finding art that could be dated to Mid/late Neanderthal era...thus ruling out modern humans.
I’m initially sceptical..but that’s just me. Archaeology has become so politicized and monetised. I have however no problem with the idea of Neanderthals creating art. (?)

A 64,000 year question!
