Researchers think the woman's burial position shows that the people of the time performed burial procedures.
Researchers have uncovered the partial remains of a young, headless woman in a tomb in Guangdong Province, south China. The scientists believe she has been “squatting” in the grave site for roughly 13,500 years.
The woman’s unusual placement, researcher Liu Suoqiang explained, “points to the emergence of the concepts of life and death and of primitive religious beliefs." Liu, who led the excavation, is a senior researcher with the Guangdong Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology. Scientists have also uncovered prehistoric fireplaces, stone tools and antlers, among other ancient finds, according to The Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences .
In other Chinese archaeological news, researchers recently found a number of rock carvings in Inner Mongolia. Although some scientists think they could date back up to 4,000 years, other archaeologists remain unconvinced.
