People at that time in Europe, about 15,000 years ago, knew of the Magdalene culture, and new findings indicate that cannibalism was a widespread Magdalene funerary behavior. Although time has negatively affected most of human history, the Magdalene culture has left behind Behind them is a rather rich record of their art and techniques: the stone and bone artefacts with which they worked and decorated their lives. We also have many of their bones, preserved over thousands of years, and what we do not have is a particularly good knowledge of their funerary practices. Archaeologists have collected evidence that these practices could have been very different from those found today. Specifically, bones from Gough’s Cave in the Cheddar Gorge – home of the famous Cheddar Man – showed signs of cannibalism, and archaeologists have studied 59 sites, both Magdalene and Epigraphy. They found evidence of funerary practices at 25 of these sites. In 10 of them, the dead appeared to have been buried and left to their fate. But at 13 sites, human bones showed signs of post-mortem handling: cut marks and teeth associated with dismemberment, ingestion and reuse of bones as tools. And vessels, such as cups or bowls made from human skulls. The two remaining sites showed signs of burial and cannibalism, and scientists say more research will be necessary to understand this horrific funerary practice.

A new analysis of Paleolithic human remains from various places in northern Europe suggests that cannibalism was a common cultural practice, routinely carried out over a much larger geographical area than has been identified so far.
People at that time in Europe, About 15,000 years agoAnd it was known as Magdalene cultureThe new findings suggest that cannibalism was a widespread funerary behavior in the Magdalene era.
“Instead of burying their dead, these people ate them,” explains paleontologist Silvia Bello, from the University of California. London Natural History Museum.
Although time has taken its toll on most of human history, the Magdalene culture left behind a very rich record of their arts and techniques: the stone and bone artefacts with which they worked and decorated their lives. We also have many of their bones preserved over thousands of years.
