#Settlement area, economy, and #headlessbodies in the ditch – #Vráble is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional #LBK sites. However, without our partners, the specialists at the #SlovakAcademyOfSciences, it would have remained hidden forever… 🇸🇰

A fascinating article by @andrewcurry.com @science.org!
🔬....we hope to find out soon whether 'killings/massacres' actually happened in Vráble or whether ritual practices took place here–skull removal and decapitation are different procedures... 💀👀 stay tuned!

In 2022, archaeologists at @uni-kiel.de's @neolithicbodies.bsky.social found 34 decapitated skeletons piled in a space the size of a parking spot. In the 3 years since, they’ve found 50 more. The mass grave is evidence for the collapse of the 1st pan-European culture 7,000 years ago. @science.org 🏺💀

Putrefying animal foods laced with maggots should be considered when using isotopes to reconstruct Late Pleistocene hominin diets.
