Ripari Villabruna

Ripari Villabruna is a small rock shelter in northern Italy with neolithic burial remains. The site dated to 14000 years BP contains several cromagnon burials, with bodies and grave goods. The site has added greatly to our understanding of the neolithic development of medical[1] and religious practises in early human communities.[2][3]
