Red Lady cave burial reveals Stone Age secrets

• JoeAltmaier 12y ago
  Hm. Scratches on the stone don't necessarily mean its a 'headstone'. It could have been a tool, used to sharpen sticks or polish points. The cave was inhabited, and the stone's lines took a long time to scratch. Anyway the assertion that the 'v's created by intersecting lines indicate 'female' is a lame reach.

    Of course, but that is a very common interpretation of V-shaped marks in cave art [1] 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvet_Cave#Paintings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvet_Cave#Paintings

      You do realize that is a circular argument?

  According to various news and a citation on Wiki, "she" is actually a male. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Lady_of_Paviland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Lady_of_Paviland

    The article is about a skeleton in Spain, not Wales.
