Sépulture de Bad Dürrenberg, Mesolithic burial site in Bad Dürrenberg, Germany.
The excavation contains skeletal remains of a woman aged between 30 and 40 years alongside an infant in a rectangular grave structure.
Workers discovered the burial site in 1934 while laying water pipes near the Saale River, leading to extensive archaeological investigations of the location.
The burial included red ochre powder, deer antler headdress, and fifty pierced animal teeth, indicating complex funeral practices from 6500 BC.
The site underwent additional excavation work in 2019 to preserve artifacts before regional development projects could affect the archaeological area.
Genetic analysis revealed the woman had blue eyes with dark hair and skin, suggesting specific physical characteristics of Mesolithic populations in Central Europe.
