I don't like being THAT GUY (1d4chan), but Stone Age is more of a technology level (isolated Amazon tribes anyone?), not an actual time. Cudos for showing the reality instead of the stereotype though. Hope you do the same with Iron Age Spartans, which in real life were heavily armored and beardless soldiers instead of bare-chested, bearded barbarians (and the helmets of all soldiers had plumes, not just the king's).

Yes that is exactely the concept of this series - an archaeological approach, rather than a anthropological one.
Thank you! Yes there are so many historical stereotypes out there... maybe I will tackle some more in the future, thank you for the suggestion

I like the claw on his necklace, studies have shown that Neanderthals harvested large raptors for their talons and long black feathers.
They liked black in general. Where as H. sapiens are often noted to have used red ochre as a pigment, neanderthals are noted to have used black pigments.

Thank you! It was inspired by a find from the Repolust cave.
Yes it is very interesting to see how people used colors in prehistory

Very interesting and important location you picked, for all the reasons you have meantined above, plus for the reason that, most likly Neanderthals and Homo Sapiense have probebly met for the first time at this location as well. It is quite an idea to imagine two sentient (all be it human) seices meeting... like first contact with another mammalien alien speices...
Btw could you perhapse reccomend a german documentary seriers I could start watching to work on my German simultaniouly as well.

Well you have the whole world to choose from, Humanity got to everywhere on this planet quite early in its development as a civilization.
Yes it really is a faschinating topic, there really should be more material presented on it.
Something interesting XD

In Europe we find it in layers that date to times when no one else was around - so Neandertals must have been the ones making these since Homo sapiens only showed up 100.000 later

I am going to assume: because they were found in gravecontext as gifts. Dating usually goes like this with archaeology when labtests are not an option for objects.

Yes and no - it is true that it is based on the age of the objects however especially for the Paleolithic graves are not really the most important finds - more often layers in caves (simply because there the objects are preserved the best) or in the context of settlements.

This is one of the best depictions of the Neanderthals that I've ever seen. Thanks.
