Researchers have reconstructed an ancient ornate necklace found in the grave of a child in the Neolithic village of Ba'ja in southern Jordan. The necklace, consisting of over 2,500 colorful stone and shell beads, was dated between 7400 and 6800 BC. The beads, made from various materials including red calcite, hematite, turquoise, and marine shells, suggest cultural exchanges and interactions between traders, artisans, and high-status individuals. The intricate design of the necklace indicates the child's high social status and suggests that it was commissioned for their funeral, possibly as a means of providing wealth in the afterlife. The necklace is now on display at the Petra Museum.
