Fierce slaughter, ivory treatment site found in Austria –

Langmannersdorf, Lower Austria, has unearthed orthological remains of at least five mammoths. Archaeologists have discovered many bones, stone tools and dismembered ivory, proving that humans hunted Mammoth, ate meat, and processed ivory 25,000 years ago.

Two excavation pits 50 feet apart were found to contain dense mammoth remains, and stone tools were used. One area contains at least two mammoth bones with slaughter marks engraved to indicate that they were processed for meat. The other area contains at least three mammoths, all completely with dismembered ivory. This suggests that these two fields are specifically used for different jobs, one for slaughter and the other for ivory treatment. Mammoth ivory is very powerful and difficult to break or break, so Paleolithic hunters used materials for spearheads, needles, needles, pestles, beads and other objects widely.

“We not only found a single bone here, but also processed a strong use of several animals, beyond our expectations,” explained Marc Händel of the Austrian Academy of Archaeology, Austrian Academy of Sciences. The new discoveries provide valuable insights into the hunting and lifestyles of people during this period.

Shortly before the last ice age reached its peak, the mammoth group still roamed the Central European landscape. They use the Perslin Valley near Lanmanasdorf as a migration and grazing area. This shows that people have a thorough understanding of animal habits this time and have specially used this knowledge for hunting adventures. Today, among the numerous mammoth bone and stone tools found, the success of these hunts is still evident.

Langmannersdorf is one of the most important Paleolithic sites in Austria. It is the youngest location in Central Europe, with a large number of mammoth bones. It was first excavated in 1904. Recent excavations began last month.

Modern interdisciplinary approaches are being used: In addition to analyzing stone tools and combat scars, ancient DNA and stable isotopes were examined on the teeth and bones of mammoths, as well as radiation assay dating and paleomathematical modeling. The reconstruction of the paleoenvironment helped to better understand the living conditions at that time.
