Paleoanthropologists classify Drimolen skull as very early erectus

Australian and South African paleoanthropologists presented a description of remains discovered in the Drimolen cave between 1992 and 2019. During the analysis of 18 studied samples, scientists distributed them as follows: 14 samples were assigned to massive paranthropes, three to an undetermined hominin genus and species.

One of the samples, which was a skull fragment, was classified as belonging to a very early bipedal human. This species inhabited southern Africa approximately two million years ago. Information about these findings was published in the scientific journal Annals of Human Biology.

Mace finial found in ancient Caucasian burial mound in Azerbaijan

Archaeologists conducted excavations in western Azerbaijan and discovered an unusual burial dating back to the Bronze Age. A kurgan burial of a person who lived approximately 3600 years ago was unearthed.

In the grave of this individual, presumably a man, two items were found that sparked particular interest among researchers. Among them is an artifact made of diorite, which scientists believe was a mace head, as well as a bronze dagger.

This find was reported on the Arkeonews website.
