Abstract
This dataset contains the analytical results derived from a prehistoric child's mandible recovered from the Cave of On (Belgium). Originally excavated between 1964 and 1969 by Pierre Claes and curated by the Société Spéléologique de Namur (S.S.N.), the remains were sampled and analyzed to investigate the impacts of abrupt climate change on prehistoric populations and their environment. The dataset includes the bioarchaeological data generated from these remains as part of the BELSPO-funded LEAP (LEArning from the Past) research project.
