NEANDERTHAL: The Conference - Call for papers
BackNEANDERTHAL: The Conference
1st - 6th September 2026
This year marks the centenary of the discovery of the Gibraltar 2 Neanderthal skull from Devil’s Tower Cave. The partial cranium of a four-year old Neanderthal was excavated by Dorothy Garrod in 1926. To commemorate this centenary the Gibraltar National Museum is organizing a landmark conference on Neanderthals with a high-profile programme of invited speakers, shortly to be announced.
In addition, we are inviting papers to be presented as 20-minute short communications during the conference. Papers need not be limited to the study of Neanderthals and may also include related subject areas with particular reference to other taxa, contemporary with Neanderthals.
Titles, authorship and abstracts (not exceeding 500 words) should be sent to Dr Stewart Finlayson (stewart.finlayson@gibmuseum.gi) by no later than 31st March, 2026 indicating “Calpe 2026 Short Communications” in the email header. Lead speakers of accepted papers will have the conference registration fee waived and will be expected to deliver their paper in person.
