Cave thought to hold unicorn bones actually home to Neanderthal artwork
Neanderthals carved chevrons into a giant deer toe. Unicorn cave. The
cave, known as "Einhornhöhle" (German for "unicorn cave"), has a storied
history. Starting in medieval times, treasure hunters claimed to have found
unicorn bones there, Leder said. "Of course, they were just cave bear bones,
but they sold them as medicine or a remedy to pharmacies to turn a profit,"
he said. In 1985 , archaeologists found stone tools in the cave that were
crafted by Neanderthals. To investigate more, Leder and his team returned
in 2014. But it wasn't until 2019 that they discovered the carved toe bone,
which lay buried near the cave's prehistoric but since-collapsed entrance.
Initially, the scientists could see just one carved line on the bone, Leder
said. It wasn't until excavators cleaned off the gritty silt, revealing the
chevron design, that archaeologists knew they had something special.

At first, archaeologists thought that the object had been engraved by a
member of our species (although some members of the team already
postulated Neanderthals as the authors), but the dating of the bone and the
remains of campfires found next to it, carried out by the Leibniz
Laboratory for Age Determination and Isotope Research at the University
of Kiel, gave an age of 51 , 000 years. The researchers therefore claim that
the only authors of the engravings may have been Neanderthals, as Homo
sapiens arrived in Europe around 45 , 000 years ago.
