(Photo: Gert Germeraad/Trelleborgs Museum) A hunter-gatherer woman who lived in Sweden 7000 years ago was recently revived in an extraordinary reconstruction. The woman with blue eyes wears a feather cloak, a slate necklace and a belt made of 130 animal teeth; Her dark skin is painted with white patterns, and she sits cross-legged on the "throne" of antlers, which is radiant.

Her body was found in the 1980s, and she was buried vertically in a grave in Skateholm, an archaeological site on the southern coast of Sweden, dating back to 5500 BC to 4600 BC. According to National Geographic,

According to National Geographic magazine, because of her beautifully decorated body, she is considered to be an important figure in her hunting and gathering community. The representative of the museum said in a statement that the life-size reconstruction will be shown to the public in the exhibition that opened in June165438+1October 17 at the Trelleborg Museum in Sweden.

The woman was between 30 and 40 years old when she died, and her height was about 5 feet (1.5 meters). Based on DNA evidence collected from other graves in Skateholm, the researchers determined that people living in the area at that time had light eyes and dark skin. Nat Geo reported that in this period of the Stone Age, it was about 10000 BC to 8000 BC.

. Humans in ancient Europe began to turn to agriculture and gave up the hunting and gathering lifestyle. However, the Skateholm tombs and other sites in Europe show that after the rise of agriculture, the hunter-gatherer groups lasted for nearly 1000 years. According to physical geography,

Careful decoration shows that the body belongs to a person of high status. This hand that makes female expression faces belongs to Oscar Nelson, an archaeologist and sculptor who is good at facial reconstruction. Nelson pieced her face together by CT scanning of the skull, and established her unique expression through layers of cartilage and soft tissue. According to the statement,

"Face is an endless theme: the underlying structure and details seem to change endlessly," Nelson wrote on his website. All the faces I reconstructed are unique. "They are all individuals."

Nelson told Natural Geography that during the reconstruction process, he imagined the hunter-gatherer women as shamans. Ingra Jacobson, director of the Treburg Museum, said that it was true that her gorgeous funeral showed that she "had a special position in society", but it was hard to say what role she played.

In any case, the result presents a dynamic and energetic perspective. According to the statement of the museum, a woman who died a thousand years ago, her bright and frank eyes "almost brought us into contact with the past."
