Two different species co-existing for thousands of years, and yet we can't even manage to get through one election cycle...
Very cool research though, I'll be interested to see what new evidence is discovered to support this theory.

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Eventually we're going to find remains of recent hybridization.
Like, maybe not full 50/50, but maybe a couple generations later.
That's about the only way to narrow down a period where they cohabitated. But it's not like it was a set period, I'm sure it happened off and on sporadically across Europe.
We already did, it was inside us all along
We have traces in the modern population.
I meant remains of a homind with like 10-50% neanderthal DNA.
We can get a pretty good time estimate for when the crossbreeding happened with that. Which would tell us when they were interacting.
We know it happened multiple times, it's just any remains are rare so we might not find any that close.
