Large-scale processing of within-bone nutrients by Neanderthals, 125,000 years ago (www.science.org)

We present archaeological data from the lake landscape of Neumark-Nord (Germany), where Last Interglacial Neanderthals processed at least 172 large mammals at a water’s edge site.

Their (partial) carcasses were transported to this location for the extraction of within-bone nutrients, particularly bone grease.

This “fat factory” constitutes a well-documented case of grease rendering predating the Upper Paleolithic, with the special task location devoted to extraction of nutritionally important lipids forming an important addition to our knowledge of Neanderthal adaptations.
