The Young Woman Found In An Idaho Gravel Quarry — And The 12,500-Year-Old Burial That Complicated The Clovis Story
There was a bone implement whose function remains uncertain, described in the 1998 report as possibly an awl or pin fragment.
There were incised bone objects.
And there was something that has drawn particular attention in accounts of the burial: an unmodified badger baculum.
A baculum is the penis bone found in many mammal species.
Badgers have them.
The baculum found in the Buhl burial was apparently unmodified — not shaped or worked, just the bone itself, placed in the burial as found.
The significance of this object is unclear.
