In most of them (some have been preserved damaged), people lie on their sides, one arm raised under their head, the other along the body and legs, and the legs are slightly bent. Sleeping person's pose. In some cases, flat stones are found under the head, in some cases pieces of cooked meat are assumed – animal bones with traces of fire, flint tools. The bodies are oriented from east to west, the face to south (this orientation is typical not only for Neanderthals, but also generally accepted). Soil samples taken from at least one burial site showed the presence of medicinal plant pollen.
For example, the discovery of the burial of a woman and a one-year-old child in a grotto indicates a serious attitude to the burial. Depressions were hollowed out in the rock for them.
