Smart Nenderthals wore eagle talons as jewellery
Highlights
Neanderthals successfully modified white-tailed eagle claws to make jewellery 130,000 years ago before the appearance of modern humans in Europe, says a fascinating study. This was confirmed by analysing eight mostly complete white-tailed eagle talons to Croatia. The talons show cut marks and patterns of wear that suggest the claws were donned as personal ornaments. Four talons bear multiple edge-smoothed cut marks and all eight show polishing facets or abrasion.
New York: Neanderthals successfully modified white-tailed eagle claws to make jewellery 130,000 years ago before the appearance of modern humans in Europe, says a fascinating study. This was confirmed by analysing eight mostly complete white-tailed eagle talons to Croatia. The talons show cut marks and patterns of wear that suggest the claws were donned as personal ornaments. Four talons bear multiple edge-smoothed cut marks and all eight show polishing facets or abrasion. Three of the largest talons have small notches at roughly the same place along the plantar surface.
