This Prehistoric Trick Shows How Ice Age People Harvested Teeth for Jewelry

While bringing together the cultural experience of ancient people, they rely on the clues of works such as traditional archaeologists, tools, bones and pottery. Experienced archaeologists, once a step by stepping past behaviors to survive how people live.

Recently, a researcher group recently explored how it produces animal teeth to produce the accessories of the stones of the stone period in northeastern Europe. Archaeologists led by Aija Macāne, who visited the Cultures Department at the University of Helsinki, personally tried seven different production methods to determine the most effective and efficient. Their results were broadcast on June 20 Archaeological and anthropological sciencesOffer new ideas to the lives of those who collect hunter before date.

“Our experiences show that dental production is a deliberate process, especially in daily life, especially food experience, Macāne gossip in a university statement. “It objects that the teeth used for decorations are simply collapsed or easily existed.”

According to researchers, animal teeth were among the most common materials used in jewelry, accessory and stoning times, especially in the northern hemisphere. Specialists, thanks to sites like Zevejnieki, more than 7,500 and 2,600 places for about five millennia, more than 2,000 animal females were drilled, and ancient people have become a major place to learn how to do with these materials.

Archaeologists have explored this site from this site, how they examine, how they used, and how they are placed in the graves there. The investigation notes, the researchers did fewer work despite the process of removing teeth and physical traces.

Macāne and his colleagues to fill this knowledge gap took their hands dirty. The command took a number of experiments to test the previous method for removing teeth: cutting, percussion (or surprising), air draining, soaking, direct heat and two cooking appliances. These methods chose based on previous archeological and ethnographic research. “Other methods can be tested, but we claim that the technologies provided by existing technologies in the meantime,” we claim that researchers are in the report.

For a year, some gears were like to be a stone cycle man in need of bling. Researchers have conducted their experience in the experimental center, which allows the necessary raw materials from licensed local hunters to release the source of sources of sources of sources. In general, the Eurasian Elkin used two wild boars, two or mandibles from two wildbars, two or Roe deer.

All the methods they tested, the two meals proved the most effective. In a ceramic container, the cork in a ceramic container, not brakititan, soft tissues, soft tissues cause soft tissues to separate the bone, facilitate the teeth by hand. Placing all the skulls inside a place stove, a drill hole used to trap the heat and in this situation there is the same effect in this situation.

Both methods, both methods are allowed to add food, to prepare food, and the rest of the bones that match the tool. These findings can be integrated into the wider cultural practices of dental production, food preparation, individual decorations and funeral ceremonies.

When it comes to other methods, it was succeeded that he would notice but added. He also worked to cut or hit the teeth to remove them, but it hurts a lot of time. The fact that the last two methods did not have successful results to dry and heat direct heat.

“Although this research is mainly focused on Zvejnieki Cemetery in the Dental Hanging Asseman Assembly, our results have a wider impact on the production of suspension in dental extract and prehratism,” the researchers state. “We’ve made valuable ideas on human behavior and cultural practices during the stoning time, by examining the techniques used for tooth extraction.”

There are still questions. Researchers will hopefully, other archaeologists will look for physical traces of the production process in animal teeth. The teeth also emphasize the importance of investigating other types, including people and dogs. Such a job, argues, “a critical light on the complexity and importance of these practices” sheds. “
