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. 📷 @almbawue.bsky.social 🏺 #archaeology

Guess who's coming to dinner… New evidence for #Magdalenian #cannibalism from #MaszyckaCave near Kraków, 18,000 years ago: 🏺 www.science.org/content/arti... by @spoke32.bsky.social via @science.org 💀 CN: Couple gruesome details on, well, human consumption.

Cannibalism was frequent in the Magdalenian period in Europe. 🧪🏺

Archaeological analysis of bones from Maszycka Cave in Poland indicates Magdalenian people, around 18,000 years ago, may have practiced cannibalism, possibly due to ritual or survival needs. doi.org/g839jw

New research at Maszycka Cave suggests Magdalenian hunter-gatherers practiced cannibalism, possibly for ritual or warfare. Cut marks and bone breakage reveal a complex mortuary tradition. #Archaeology #Prehistory #Anthropology #Cannibalism

🏺 Great write up of this complicated topic. I'd merely add its *our* perception that treating human bodies in the same way as consumed animal bodies was necessarily an act of violence or disdain, because it assumes that hunting, butchering & eating other creatures is primarily about calories.

New research on Paleolithic cannibalism by @cescmarginedas.bsky.social @palmirasaladie.bsky.social @whiterabbit36.bsky.social & others suggests it was widespread across Europe at the end of the last Ice Age – and that people were probably eating friends and enemies alike. @science.org

This is a new paper revisiting an old interpretation from a fresh perspective, led by @cescmarginedas.bsky.social sky.social as part of his PhD thesis, which I co-supervise with @palmirasaladie.bsky.social. Proud!!!: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
