Kebara Cave (in Hebrew: מערת כבארה Me'arat Kebara, in Arabic: مغارة الكبارة Magarat al-Kebara) is a limestone cave found in the town of Wadi Kebara (Israel), located about 60-64 meters above sea level. It is located about 10 kilometers from the city of Cesárea Marítima.
The cave has been the subject of important archaeological campaigns during the 19th and 20th centuries. The elements found in it show signs of having been inhabited between 60000 and 48000 a. C., being a cave more than famous for the hominid remains found. The main campaigns have been led by the professor and archaeologist Ofer Bar-Yosef.
The most important discovery made in this archaeological complex dates back to 1982, when the most complete Neanderthal skeleton was found to date. Its discoverers "baptized" it like "Moshe", and it is dated of around 60000 a. C. The skeleton has preserved an important part of the torso (spine, ribs and pelvis) as well as certain arm bones. The head and lower limbs have been lost.
Despite the great finding cited in the previous paragraph, the main studies conducted on Neanderthals have been carried out on different skulls appeared since 1856 and subsequent excavations, which found nothing that did not belong to the skull until the Moshe's discovery. Bibliography
