Unearthed Mystery: The Stunning Face of a 10,500-Year-Old Stone Age Woman from Belgium Revealed
The cave was seemingly used as a burial site for several centuries, which is also intriguing, as it suggests that even nomadic people would return to “places of memory… despite their mobile hunter-gatherer lifestyle.”

Researchers now have a better idea of what some Mesolithic people looked like — and they need a name for the woman. They’ve suggested three options: “Margo,” based on Margaux cave; “Freyà,” based on the nearby Freyr mountain range; and “Mos’anne,” based on the Meuse river basin.
