First burial mound of New Stone Age’ people unearthed in Siberia
A burial mound of the New Stone Age people has been unearthed by archaeologists in Siberia. The unique discovery could reshape ideas about early humans. It was previously thought that such burial sites emerge much later.
The discovery is said to be a testimony to the fundamental change in the consciousness of early humans and their perception of the world,
"It means there had been major changes in the socio-economic structure of the society. It is safe to assume that the process of destruction of collectivism, on which early tribal societies were based, began in Neolithic times. For the most part, the events that took place in the area that we now call Western Siberia were much more interesting and thought-provoking than previously thought,” he stated.
Bobrov noted that the discovery is “the first of its kind.”
"The burial mound that we have found most probably dates back to the Late Stone Age, 5-4 millennia BC. It was previously thought that burial mounds appear at the end of the fourth to the beginning of the third millennium," Bobrov added.
