The Valdaro Lovers necklace by Blue Bayer Design NYCThe so-called Lovers of Valdaro, also dubbed as the “Valdaro Lovers,” are a pair of human skeletons dating back 6,000 years discovered by archaeologists at a Neolithic tomb in S.Giorgio near Mantova, Italy, in 2007. The two skeletons appear to have died or were interred facing each other with arms around each other, thus reminiscent of a “lovers’ embrace”.Scientists believe that the pair is a man and woman no older than 20 years old and approximately 5’2″ (157 cm) in height. The male skeleton was found with a flint arrowhead near the neck. The female had a long flint blade along the thigh, plus two flint knives under the pelvis. Osteological examination found no evidence of violent death, no fractures, and no microtrauma, so the most likely explanation is the flint tools were buried along with the people as grave goods. They were removed from the ground intact and sent to Musei Civici in Como where they are undergoing analysis. (wiki) -- source link
