The old and the youngling. 

About 7000 years ago, an ageing man in his 60s was buried at Skateholm, Sweden. Next to him, face to face, lays a child of 4-5 years who was buried later. On the child's chest lay jewelry made of bear teeth and pieces of amber. A beautiful display of love, and that the two belonged together in life as in death.

Some of history’s most important archaeological finds have been found in surprising ways. But nothing beats the time underwater archaeologists were helped by a lobster.

These two sites continue to astonish. The mere fact of their existence raises so many interesting questions.

After some (very justified) criticism to my definition of prehistoric (see tags) here’s another poll:

#ain’t no one got time for the sub classification of the modern period.

Currently crying over the melancholy beauty that of all of our languages spoken now, not a single one existed when our deepest ancestors started painting in caves, telling stories to their kith and kin, sculpting statues, and learning to cook and farm

Not a single one of them could speak with us if they were here now, and vice versa, yet everything they worked for and lived for still lives on and stands within each and every one of us

And still, some echo of the words they spoke to one another, the words cried out to their gods and the universe and their own ancestors, is alive in every language we speak today, and so many lost to time

When I think about the essence of humanity, it is this, in the purest form of who we were, who we are, and who we yet can be

#Idk I’m just thinking of making rice and debating about whether or not to go bed #and just godsdamnit what I would give to know them and their words #we’ll never know what they said but what they meant is who we are today #I’m crying in the club y’all #what my url means #why I chose anthropology #anthropology #archaeology #paleolithic #neolithic #mesolithic

At 8,000-years-old, the site of the oldest fortress known has been revealed by investigations in Siberia and challenges our understanding of ancient societies.

a red deer mask (dated to be 11,000 years old) found in situ amongst a deliberate deposit of bones, wood, and antlers from star carr.

star carr is a mesolithic site that saw intermittent occupation by hunter-gathers from 9,200-8,700 BCE. the deposit, here, was deposited over a period of 135-310 years and over eight generations. it implies that the site had history and traditions passed down through generations to contribute to reoccurring deposits.
