Oldest Dutch work of art found at the bottom of the North Sea
Oldest Dutch work of art found at the bottom of the North Sea The oldest Dutch work of art is a 13,500 year-old carved bison bone dredged up from the bottom of the North Sea, archaeologists write in an article published in Antiquity magazine earlier this week. Late Ice Age hunter gatherers roamed the area that became the North Sea but very little evidence of their presence has been found. But sometimes the sea floor yields treasures that shed light on the period. This is a confirmation, the article says, of ‘the importance of continental shelves as archaeological archives’ http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archive...the-north-sea/ |
