Remains of several Neanderthals have been found there, including 'Amud 1' and 'Amud 7'. Initial excavations were conducted by Japanese researchers in the early 1960s. The most significant find is the nearly complete skeleton of an adult male known as Amud 1, dated to around 50,000-60,000 years ago. This specimen has one of the largest cranial capacities ever recorded for a hominin fossil at 1740 cm³. In addition, in 1992 an infant Neanderthal skeleton was discovered and named Amud 7. The site also contains Middle Paleolithic artifacts and evidence of hearths dating back to the same period.
