The Corbeddu cave is located in the territory of Oliena, municipality of the province of Nuoro, in Sardinia.

In this cave found refuge the famous Sardinian bandit Giovanni Corbeddu Salis (1844-1898), from which it took its name.

[1] However, this claim has been contested, with others suggesting that there is no solid evidence for the presence of humans on Sardinia-Corsica until the early Mesolithic, around 10,000 years ago.

[2] In addition, bone and stone tools were discovered that were used by these prehistoric people in their daily lives.

In addition to the human bones in the cave there were numerous bones of extinct endemic animals such as the Sardinian dhole,[3] the deer Praemegaceros cazioti and the lagomorph Prolagus sardus.
