The skin has perforations on its extremities and was tanned - it might have been used for clothing or as a funerary good.

7,000 years old, from Spain, and pristinely preserved!!! How cool is that.

Thanks to @jolijnerven.bsky.social and Zoé Robinet for the DNA analysis + our Spanish co-authors!

The Animal #aDNA Research Community is looking for new members to its steering committee!

If you are an ECR and interested in the field, we would love to have you on board. We particularly would value committee representation from outside of Europe.
