First Feast? The Burial at the Hilazon Tachtit Cave Site

Monday, September 22, 2014 6:42

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Excavation at the 12,000-year-old Hilazon Tachtit cave site, located in what is now Israel, led to an astonishing discovery. At the cave site, twenty-nine Natufian individuals are buried. Twenty-eight of those burials took place in a collective pit, but one burial was special. A woman, believed to be a shaman, was buried separately, with evidence that a pre-burial feast took place in her honor, providing the earliest known evidence of a feast in honor of a woman’s burial.
