Katerina Harvati ‘Middle Pleistocene funerary ritual at Apidima? An examination of evidence’
2 homs– 2 dates: Ap2: >170 ka (NEA), Ap1 >210 ka (early H sapiens).
Could it be mortuary ritual instead (Otte 2020)?! NO.
Analysis of tapho, homs in fissure! no pebbles, no pigments 😀

Review of evidence suggests several Denisovan populations, who likely had an extensive geographical range, were adapted to distinct environments and introgressed into modern humans multiple times.
