  1. More from Killuragh cave, Ireland. This distal humerus (fore leg) bone from a pig of wild boar found in the same pit fill as Arctic lemming, Irish mountain hare and wood mouse. Hopefully we can get it radiocarbon dated. Very visible parallel fine cut incised marks on the bone associated with butchering practices by humans. #IrishCaveBones #pigs #cutmarks #wildboar #irisharchaeology #cavearchaeology #archaeology #zooarchaeology

  6. Happy #FossilFriday 🐘

    Here is the partial skeleton of a straight-tusked elephant from Marathousa 1, a Lower #Paleolithic site in the Megalopolis basin, Southern Greece. This skeleton belonged to a male individual in its late adulthood (around 60 years) and shows evidence of #cutmarks😯 It is also one of at least two individuals of this taxon found in Marathousa 1!

  9. In Germany we have saying about lazily "lying on a bearskin" 🥱🐻 - and apparently that's been a thing for at least 300,000 years ...

    (As #CutMarks on #CaveBear bones discovered at the #Paleolithic site of #Schöningen in Lower Saxony suggest:)

  14. CW: Archaeology: Death and dying, explicit description and/or images of human remains.

    Among such traces are, for instance, #CutMarks on human bones - whose origin and meaning, admittedly, could have a variety of possible reasons ... of which the removal of flesh (physical "#excarnation") *might* be one.

    This rather recent study on skull fragments from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of #GöbekliTepe may illustrate that point:
