La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1

Local nameGisement préhistorique Bouffia Bonneval
LocationLa Chapelle-aux-Saints, France

La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1 is an almost-complete male Neanderthal skeleton discovered in La Chapelle-aux-Saints, France by A. and J. Bouyssonie, and L. Bardon in 1908.

The individual was about 40 years of age at the time of his death. He was in bad health, having lost most of his teeth and suffering from resorption of bone in the mandible and advanced arthritis.

It is the most convincing example of a possible Neanderthal deliberate burial, but like all claimed Neanderthal burials, this isn't generally accepted.
