Stone age human skeletonStone age burial remains. Fossilised skeleton of a late stone age (neolithic) human. This skeleton is thought to be that of a young woman who died about 5000 years ago. At this time, the inhabitants of the region were anatomically-modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens). The small discs seen around her neck are the remnants of jewellery. The skeleton was found during the construction of a road in France, and is known as the Lady of Caissargues.
