A great project at #Moesgaard. This article focuses on the project, the site, sea level change and dendrochronology. There is more on the way 🌳🌲⬛◼️◾ #Mesolithic #Maglemose #Archaeobotany

From Brinch Petersen 2016: Afterlife in the Danish Mesolithic – the creation, use and discarding of »Loose Human Bones«, fig.11a-b

This heavily used #Maglemose amber pendant depicts a group of people. Brinch Petersen gives a spooky interpretation:

"...four geometrical and standing persons with upright arms with a fifth floating above while a severed head is being presented by the last standing figure to the right."
