Abstract:	The Qafzeh Cave (Wadi el-Hajj, Israel) houses one of the most comprehensive assemblages of early Homo sapiens in the Euroasiatic fossil record. Since the ܪrst excavations in 1937, at least 25 individuals, with an age of death ranging from perinatal stage to adulthood, have been recovered from Mousterian levels dating around 100 -90 ka. The Qafzeh individuals are renowned as one of the leading examples of Paleolithic funerary practices, since the archaeological context is consistent with intentional burials. However, no direct taphonomic analysis of the bones has been conducted.
