And of course the one which made headlines again recently, the 9,000 y/o burial of a #shamaness from #BadDürrenberg, Germany:
More on the extraordinary burial of the #Mesolithic #BadDürrenberg "#shamaness" and latest analyses of this spectacular find from central #Germany have been reported recently e.g. here in #Archaeology Mag by @spoke32:

5 bone awls were buried with the #shamaness at #BadDürrenberg, some even decorated.
The largest of them shows gnawing marks left by a #dog. Not very extensive, but visible. Seems, *someone* tried to make off with a nice catch - but got caught himself, the little tool retrieved.
#FindsFriday: Hollow crane bone from the #Mesolithic burial (c. 9,000 years ago) of the so-called #Shamaness from #BadDürrenberg - a container for #microliths (tiny precise stone blades), put in & taken out through a small opening.
Yes, that’s your prehistoric @[email protected] knife. 😉
