最近在南非海边一洞穴处,考占学者在地层中发现了41枚大小如豌豆的海里螺蛳,它们都属同一个种,而且每个螺蛳的壳口附近都钻了孔(见图1),所以可以确定,它们是古人类的首饰而被用绳子串连起来作为项链用的。这一首饰年代距今约7.5万年。如果这年代鉴定无误,那是一晕大发现,它将改写首饰的发展史,对古人类的智慧也将刮目相看。 In a recent cave near the beach in South Africa, the Kazhan scholars discovered 41 sea snails, such as peas, in the strata. They all belong to the same species, and holes are drilled near the mouth of each snail (see Figure 1). So you can be sure that they are ancient human jewellery and are used as a necklace with string strings. This jewelry age is about 75,000 years ago. If this era is correct, it is a faint discovery. It will rewrite the history of jewelry development, and the wisdom of ancient humans will also be impressive.
