FIGURE 1-12 Neanderthal Woman A facial reconstruction by Elisabeth Daynes made from a casting of the skull. The female, whom the discoverers called Pierrette, died a violent death between the ages of 17 and 20. Her 36,000-year-old remains were discovered in western France in 1979, lying near tools from the Neanderthal period. Focus 10-1 reports on the discovery of a flute made by Neanderthals.
