On the frozen plains of Sungir (in present-day Russia), two small bodies were buried head-to-head more than 34,000 years ago. They tell a story of illness and care, of life and death, of violence, symbolism, and belief. #burials 💀

14,000 years ago, a woman, a man… and a dog were buried together. A gesture that speaks of care, affection and a bond as old as time.

Ayer viajamos al pasado con nuestro Escape Room “Atrapados en el Paleolítico” junto a los alumnos de Freetime Burgos 🔍

A través del juego aprendieron sobre anatomía, taxonomía, geocronología y tafonomía.

¡Gracias por vuestra curiosidad y entusiasmo!

28.000 years ago, a child was buried covered in red ochre, surrounded by objects: shells, deer canines, and cooked rabbit bones. #burials

Coincidence? Ritual?

Qafzeh 11 is other case that raises fascinating questions about symbolism in Paleolithic #burials

This adolescent, around 12 or 13 years old, was buried about 90,000 years ago in Qafzeh Cave (Galilee, Israel)

The case of Amud 7 opens a fascinating debate. 

This Neanderthal infant, buried around 60,000 years ago in Amud Cave (Israel), was found in anatomical connection.

#Burials, as one of the most explored funerary manifestations in Paleolithic archaeology, offer a window into the symbolic, ritual, or religious behavior of ancestral populations.
