I guess there's quite a few possible explanations as to why a pre-historic European might have had more Neanderthal ancestry than we have today. I'd guess the best one is that maybe the "aboriginal" modern humans in Europe back then had more Neanderthal ancestry, but it got gradually watered down as successive waves of modern human migration into Europe happened from Asia and Africa. Makes sense.
Either that or some groups of early Europeans had lots of Neanderthal ancestry while others had none, and after they all migrated and bred with eachother it homogenised.
