English After the victim's death, the body was thrown into the vertical shaft of a 13-meter-high cavity inside a cave complex and the remains lay there until, in 1984, the site was discovered by a team of archaeologists.
The victim's skull - called cranium 17 reconstructed by assembling 52 fragments - was excavated from the underground cave along with over 6,500 bones belonging to at least 28 individuals. It is unclear how the bodies ended up in the cavity, but it is believed that they were deliberately deposited there after the individuals died, suggesting that humans began burying (or at least collecting) the remains of their dead much earlier than previously thought.
In light of the results of the scientific analysis of the skull, which included a CT scan and a 3D model, the researchers concluded that cranium 17 did not die of natural causes, but rather from a violent act committed by another Neanderthal, and could therefore represent the first case of homicide in human history
