NEANDERTHAL MAN 
Later WorkK AT GIBRALTAR 
In 1gto and again in 1g11, W. L. H. Duckworth, of 
Cambridge University, visited Gibraltar for the purpose 
of obtaining, if possible, additional information about the 
old skulls and of making further exploration. 
He found that the Forbes Quarry still existed, though, 
having been worked at intervals since 1848, its boundaries 
were now larger. The quarry, as originally noted, is 
under-the north front of the Rock of Gibraltar. The rock 
at this point still contains a remnant of a cave, which is 
not more than about thirty feet above sea level and “‘is 
probably the result of marine erosion at a remote epoch; 
and at a remote epoch also, the mouth of this cave must 
have been closed, until it was reopened by the quarry- 
men.” It was in all probability in this cave that the 
skull was discovered. A partial exploration of the cave 
and the neighboring talus was barren of results so far as 
remains of man were concerned. 
A second cave in the rock explored by Doctor Duck- 
worth gave remains of the Neolithic Period. Another 
cavern (Sewell’s Cave) yielded, with others, some Mous- 
terian, Aurignacian, Solutrean, and even Magdalenian 
stone implements. 
In 1917, parts of the Rock of Gibraltar and its neigh- 
borhood were investigated by the Abbé Breuil. During 
this work the Abbé discovered near the ‘‘ Devil’s Tower’’ 
a rough rock-shelter which gave indications of Paleolithic 
man. This site, in 1926, was explored in detail by Dr. 
Dorothy A. E. Garrod; and it was here that in June, 1926, 
Miss Garrod found, inclosed in rock, the skull of a child, 
proceeding evidently from the Mousterian period. 
The specimen was found in some Mousterian deposits 
fronting a small cave opposite the ruin of Devil’s Tower, 
in the eastern face of the north front of the Rock, not 
very far from the Forbes Quarry, in which in 1848 was 
discovered the adult Neanderthaloid skull of Gibraltar.
