Human bones found in Spanish cave show signs of ancient cannibalism
Hundreds of pieces of bone dating from 5700 years ago carry evidence of being processed and eaten by other humans, bolstering the idea that cannibalism was common in the Neolithic period

⚠️ Una vértebra infantil hallada en Gran Dolina muestra cortes precisos que indican decapitación. El hallazgo refuerza la hipótesis de que Homo antecessor practicaba el canibalismo de forma recurrente @fatapuerca.bsky.social @iphes-cerca.bsky.social

Atapuerca revela nuevas evidencias de canibalismo en los restos de un niño
Una vértebra infantil hallada en el yacimiento burgalés de Gran Dolina presenta cortes precisos que indican la separación deliberada de la cabeza del cuerpo. Los científicos ven en esta práctica una estrategia recurrente de aprovechamiento de carne humana entre los primeros homínidos que habitaron la zona.

This uniquely preserved Late Neolithic flint dagger (2900 BCE) was found in Allensbach at the Lake Constance, southwest #Germany. The blade was made of flint from Monte Baldo, northern #Italy. It was fastened with birch tar in a handle made of elderwood.

A close-up photograph of an flint dagger with a chipped, gray stone blade and a weathered wooden handle. The blade is knapped to a sharp point with visible flake scars, while the handle appears aged, the black birch tar, that was used to fasten the blade to the handle, can be seen.
