| | Fossil remains of Neanderthal Man have been discovered mainly across Europe and in the Middle East. This model cast of a Neanderthal burial site originates from Mugharet El-Kebarah, a cave site on Mount Carmel, Israel. The site was first excavated in 1964 by M. Stekelis who worked on the North East wall of the cave. Other excavation sites on Mount Carmel include Caves at Geulah, Mugharet es-Skhul, Mugharet et-Tabun and Mugharet el-Wad.
