Our civilized way of thinking led scientists to look at the attack, and
try to develop reconstruction to explain it. All this with the help of forensic
experts, although the motive and the police interrogation of a corpse is
missing. It is a 7000 year old case of a present body, so it requires time and
techniques hitherto inaccessible. According to archaeologist Alexander
Bentley; those who managed to flee fell within a few meters, pierced by
arrows, as the tips recovered from their backs reveal. Most of them were 16
children who were bludgeoned to death, based on evidence that the Neolithic
skull does not stand up to the flint axe.
The broken skulls of the 34 potters of the band pottery were left
scattered around as a sign of brutality, for anthropology violence and its
forms can say many things. For Professor R. Alexander Bentley of
Durham University's Department of Anthropology, the conjecture and
conclusion "is the most obvious: it was the women". This region, between
the sources of the Danube and the Rhine, harks back to the arcane of
European repopulation. For some reason the women of these settlements
seemed particularly coveted. 7 , 000 years ago, in a at a bend in the Neckar
River north of the future Stuttgart, a perfidious surprise attack and an
unprecedented massacre took place... no!
A study led by researchers from the “Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas” (CSIC) has
analyzed several knives and other lithic tools from the Nahal Hemar cave, in present-day Israel. The
marks found point to their use in the process of dismembering human bodies and offer new
archaeological clues as to their use during the funerary rituals that took place in the cave during the
Neolithic period, some 10 , 000 years ago. https://www.csic.es/sites/www.csic.es/files/liticas_ 2 _ 1 .jpg
