Murdered, then buried together, two women from a Mesolithic cemetery on Téviec Island in #Brittan, #France, pay witness to a violent age.Did the rising tide bring neighboring populations into conflict?
In an area known as Doggerland was an area of land, now submerged beneath the southern #NorthSea, that connected Great Britain to continental Europe. It was flooded by rising sea levels around 6,500–6,200 BC. It was a rich habitat with human habitation in the Mesolithic period, although rising sea levels gradually reduced it to low-lying islands before its final submergence, possibly following a tsunami caused by the Storegga Slide.The bodies had been buried with great care in a pit that was partly dug into the ground and covered over with debris. They had been protected by a roof made of antlers and provided with a number of grave pieces of flint and boar bones, with jewelry made of seashells drilled and assembled into necklaces, bracelets, and ringlets for the legs. #Doggerland was named in the 1990s, after the Dogger Bank, which in turn was named after the 17th-century Dutch fishing boats called doggers.The above individuals of Téviec or #Thviec is an island situated to the west of the isthmus of the peninsula of Quiberon, near #Saint-Pierre-Quiberon in #Brittany, France. From 1928 to 1934, archaeologists Marthe and Saint-Just Péquart discovered and excavated a range of Mesolithic habitats and a necropolis of the same period. During the #Mesolithic period, the sea level was much lower – it was possible to walk from #France to #England – and Téviec was situated in a lagoon. The hunter-gatherers of #Tviec buried their own dead in the middens. This helped to preserve the graves, as the carbonates from the shells in the middens insulated human bones from the acid soil.Many tools made of bone and antler were found along with numerous flint microliths. They were originally believed to date to 6575 years BP (± 350 years) but have now been dated to between 6740 and 5680 years BP. This indicates a longer occupation than previously thought, with its end coming at the beginning of the #Neolithic period.@atedge
