abstract = {{The site of Riparo Broion (Vicenza, northeastern Italy) preserves a stratigraphic{\textless}br{\textgreater}sequence documenting the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition, in particular the final{\textless}br{\textgreater}Mousterian and the Uluzzian cultures. In 2018 a human tooth was retrieved from a late{\textless}br{\textgreater}Mousterian level, representing the first human remain ever found from this rock shelter{\textless}br{\textgreater}(Riparo Broion 1). Here we provide the morphological description and taxonomic{\textless}br{\textgreater}assessment of Riparo Broion 1 with the support of classic and virtual morphology, 2D{\textless}br{\textgreater}and 3D analysis of the topography of enamel thickness, and DNA analysis. The tooth is{\textless}br{\textgreater}an exfoliated right upper deciduous canine, and its general morphology and enamel{\textless}br{\textgreater}thickness distribution support attribution to a Neanderthal child. Correspondingly, the mitochondrial DNA sequence from Riparo Broion 1 falls within the known genetic{\textless}br{\textgreater}variation of Late Pleistocene Neanderthals, in accordance with newly obtained{\textless}br{\textgreater}radiocarbon dates which point to approximately 48 ka cal BP as the most likely{\textless}br{\textgreater}minimum age for this specimen. The present work describes novel and direct evidence{\textless}br{\textgreater}of the late Neanderthal occupation in northern Italy that preceded the marked cultural{\textless}br{\textgreater}and technological shift documented by the Uluzzian layers in the archaeological{\textless}br{\textgreater}sequence at Riparo Broion. Here we provide a new full morphological, morphometric,{\textless}br{\textgreater}and taxonomic analysis of Riparo Broion 1, in addition to generating the wider{\textless}br{\textgreater}reference sample of Neanderthal and modern human upper deciduous canines. This{\textless}br{\textgreater}research contributes to increasing the sample of fossil remains from Italy, as well as{\textless}br{\textgreater}the number of currently available upper deciduous canines, which are presently poorly documented in the scientific literature.{\textless}br{\textgreater}}},
