Sima de las Palomas (Rock-Dove hole) is one of many caves in Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, which is in the Sierra de las Nieves range, Andalusia, southern Spain. It was inhabited for tens of thousands of years, by Neanderthals and others. The shaft was filled in with brecciated material in the Late Pleistocene, and was partly excavated by miners in the nineteenth century. In the rubble, fossil remains of humans, including those of Neanderthals, were found in the 1990s, and after excavations in the shaft, in 2006-2007 a skeleton of a young Neanderthal woman was found, possibly buried with her child.
