Neandertals on the beach:
use of marine resources at Grotta dei Moscerini (Latium, Italy)

Excavated in 1949, Grotta dei Moscerini (MIS 5 to early MIS 4) is 1 of 2 Italian Hn sites, with 171 retouched shells from 21 layers.
The other occurrence is from the broadly contemporaneous layer L of Grotta del Cavallo, S-Italy (n=126).
8 other Mousterian sites in Italy & 1 in Greece also have shell-tools, but in a very small nr.
The shell-tools are made on valves of the smooth clam Callista chione.
The general idea that the valves of Callista chione were collected by Hn on the beach after the death of the mollusk, is incomplete.
At Moscerini, 23.9 % of the spms were gathered directly from the sea-floor, as live animals, by skin-diving Hn.
Archaeological data from sites in Italy, France & Spain confirm:
shell fishing & fresh-water fishing was a common activity of Hn, as indicated by anatomical studies recently published by E.Trinkaus.(ear exostoses --mv)
Lithic analysis provides data to show the relation between stone tools & shell tools.
Several layers contain pumices, derived from volcanic eruptions in the Ischia Island or the Campi Flegrei (prior to the Campanian Ignimbrite mega-eruption).
Their rounded edges indicate: they were transported by sea-currents to the beach at the base of the Moscerini sequence.
Their presence in the occupation layers above the beach is discussed.
The most plausible hypothesis: they were collected by Hn.
Incontrovertible evidence that Hn collected pumices is provided by a cave in Liguria.
Use of pumices as abraders is well documented in the Upper Paleolithic.
We prove: the exploitation of submerged aquatic resources & pumice collection common in the Upper Paleolithic were part of Hn behavior, well before Hs arrival in W-Europe.

"Sheltered shallow water habitat", could be gotten at low tide by walking.

"Sheltered shallow water habitat", could be gotten at low tide by walking.Of course, my boy, but that doesn't explain Hn pachyosteosclerosis, nor Hn platycephaly, nor Hn platymeria, nor Hn platypelloidy, nor etc.etc.
Only incredible imbeciles still deny neandertals frequently *dived* for shallow-aquatic foods.
