Abstract

Mora Cavorso Cave, located in South-Eastern Lazio, is a multi-tunnel cave displaying a complex stratigraphy. Its inner rooms revealed the presence of one of the most important funerary deposits of Early Neolithic central Italy. Around 30 individuals of all ages and both sexes, mostly chaotically piled for natural and anthropic reasons, were found along with grave goods and ornaments, whose materials come from different parts of Italy. This key deposit was object of a wide range of analyses, including isotopes and DNA studies, which helped unveil a sliver of life and death of the Neolithic communities of the Apennines.
