Archaeologists in Spain conducted hands-on experiments with small fowl using flint flakes for butchering.
They found that roasting the birds damaged the bones to such an extent that it's unlikely they would be preserved in the archaeological record.
Birds offer a complementary dietary resource that may have played an essential role in Neanderthal adaptation.
And despite their careful control of the experimental conditions, it is simply not possible to replicate Neanderthal methods, real-world conditions, and broader cultural contexts exactly. They called for further research, expanding the experiments to more bird species and different cooking methods..
