"Stone Age Artifacts Unearthed in German Cave: A Glimpse into Human-Bear Coexistence"
Archaeologists exploring a cave in Germany have discovered a rare collection of artifacts and remains left by prehistoric humans and cave bears. The findings include over 10,000 animal bones, stone tools, and seven well-preserved fragments from a cave bear jaw, which, combined with other bones, create almost an entire cave bear skeleton. Radiocarbon dating suggests the bones date back to between 45,000 B.C. and 25,000 B.C. The cave was also utilized by early humans or Neanderthals, as indicated by the presence of stone tools and animal bones with burn marks and evidence of processing.
