Extraordinary fine-grained timescales in this analysis of #Neanderthal #fire pits from #Spain 52,000 years ago -- the life of groups moving in and out for more than 200 years.
'To date the Neanderthals’ time at El Salt more precisely, the researchers analysed magnetic minerals recovered from several hearths found within a few metres of each other. These minerals record the orientation of Earth’s fluctuating magnetic field at the time the fire was last extinguished.'
