Stuttgart
Germany ( ~5,000 years ago)
farmer found
Remains discovered in Stuttgart, Germany were identified as having been from a female, likely between 22–30 years old, who was a member of a Neolithic farming community. Evidence from excavations of this site shows inhabitants from a number of different cultures throughout the ancient past, and it is not specific to only Neolithic farming communities. Artifacts, such as pottery dating to around 5,500–4,800 BCE, and evidence of ritualized burial practices suggest that at least one of the remains and inhabitants was likely from the Linearbandkeramik (LBK) culture. The LBK culture has been identified as one of the first farming cultures in Europe, and they are known for their distinctive pottery and burial practices.
