Abstract

The exceptional find of the tooth of a sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) at Monte d’Accoddi adds to the documentation on the possible presence, and exploitation by humans, of cetaceans in the prehistoric Mediterranean. The dating (3638–3378 BC) appears to make it the oldest cetacean find in Sardinia.
