Abstract	TNT – THE NEANDERTHAL TOOLS is a combined research and demonstration project, which is funded within the DigiCULT programme of the European Commission. The project aims to improve the access to the cultural heritage of Neanderthals for researchers and the broad public. The scientific core of TNT is the creation of NESPOS, an interactive online database containing, in the long run, all available anthropological and archaeological data related to Neanderthals, e.g. computed tomography (CT) and 3D surface scans of Neanderthal fossils and artefacts as well as additional data like scanned literature, images or tables. Using Wiki-functionality, the NESPOS users themselves are able to upload data or add their comments to their colleagues ’ entries. A metadata search provides an efficient tool for content retrieval. In addition, software for 3D and 2D visualisation of digitised finds as well as geographic information about excavation sites is an integrated part of the system. Since March 2006 NESPOS is open to the scientific community.
