What did Neanderthals eat? What did they do? How did they make their clothes?

Dr. dig responds:
The Neanderthals were skilled hunters of large game such as bison or deer, and the animal remains recovered from their sites suggest that they had a diet rich in cooked and raw meat. It is likely that their clothing was made from the discarded animal skins. They were expert flint workers, making a wide range of tools, and they buried their dead in deliberate graves.
