Abstract Stalagmitic floors interstratified with Mousterian deposits from the Caverna delle Fate (Italy) have been dated by the electron spin resonance (ESR) method. Three samples dated fall between 60,000 and 74,000 yr and indicate the age of the Mousterian deposits. They are in good agreement with ages determined by nondestructive γ -ray spectrometry of the human remains from 231 Pa/ 235 U and 230 Th /234 U ratios, which are, respectively, yr. These dates are consistent with the morphological characteristics of the bones as Neanderthal remains.
