The twin burial in the Veneri cave near Parabita yielded 26 atrophic deer canines, all covered in ochre and pierced at the root, found on the edge of the pit. The arrangement of the canines at the moment of their discovery indicates that at least 24 of them probably belonged to a headdress. Morphometric and functional analysis showed that the majority (25 out of 26) of the atrophic canines belonged to adult male individuals, indicating selective hunting.

Abstract
The twin burial in the Veneri cave near Parabita yielded 26 atrophic deer canines, all covered in ochre and pierced at the root, found on the edge of the pit. The arrangement of the canines at the moment of their discovery indicates that at least 24 of them probably belonged to a headdress. Morphometric and functional analysis showed that the majority (25 out of 26) of the atrophic canines belonged to adult male individuals, indicating selective hunting.File in questo prodotto:
