The 24,000-Year-Old Boy Buried Beneath A Stone Slab With 120 Beads And Mammoth-Ivory Jewelry — And The DNA Test That Revealed A Hidden Source Of Native American Ancestry
This is not accidental — a stone slab does not randomly fall into position over a neatly arranged burial.
Someone carried it, positioned it, and left it there as a marker or a seal.
The gesture suggests intentionality that goes beyond simply covering the body; it suggests that the people who buried this child wanted the burial to persist, to be marked, to be in some sense permanent.
Around the child’s body were approximately 120 objects of grave goods.
This number is extraordinary in the context of Upper Paleolithic burials anywhere in the world.
