When archaeologists discovered a megalithic tomb in Spain dating back nearly 5,000 years and bearing sumptuous items such as a dagger made of rock crystal, ostrich eggshell and an African elephant's tusk, they knew the person buried inside was a powerful figure. What they did not realize was that this was a woma
Researchers said on Thursday an analysis of tooth enamel showed that the body entombed at the site near Seville was not a man as previously thought, a finding that indicates the leadership role women played in this ancient society that predated the pyramids of Egypt - and perhaps elsewhere.
While the researchers do not know precisely who she was or what societal role she played, they suspect she combined political and religious power and may have been viewed as the founder of an important clan. "In Iberia, it is a time of increased social complexity, with intensification of production, more availability of surplus, growing inter-regional connectivity and increased social inequality and political hierarchy. The 'Ivory Lady' reflects all these elements," García Sanjuán said.
The"Ivory Lady" shows that women may have held high leadership positions during the Copper Age, a transitional period between the Stone Age and the more technologically sophisticated Bronze Age.
