"may have been from the fabled "
Very hard, clear, forceful statement.

When I lived in southern Russia, a friend of mine had told me that legend had it the Amazons were from that region. The region is known as "the Kuban", named for the river that runs through it. He also said that the Golden Fleece came from what is now the Republic of Georgia.

20-40 and 21-45. Umm, yeah, that's some distinction.
There have been women fighting in armies since the beginning of time. However interesting the find is, it's nothing surprising.

It just goes to show you that we are more civilized.
When our women fight they are usually covered in baby oil or whipped cream and we charge admission.

The first wearers of "svimvear" and "eveninkvear". I remember the old "Wendy's" commercial. But...remember Anna Kournikova?

BURIED WOMEN WERE IN AMAZON FIGHTING TRIBE Friends of yours?
To: blam
The Amazons were considered very brave, daring, fearless and dignified fighters and reputed as skilled horsewomen. However, tales that they cut off one breast to make it easier to fire a bow and arrow are believed to be unfounded.
How can the first part..Brave, fearless,etc be held to be true?
and the last part...cutting off one breast, believed to be unfounded?
No one can know weather any of it is true. No one really knows.
Maybe they werent even Amazons..Maybe they were just the
Prostitutes of the male warrior. and were burnt up on the pire with the rest of his property?
Just Decendants of Nancy Pelosi.

I'm going to assume (until further evidence proves otherwise) that these may have been banshees hired by the romans as assassins (or even assassins OF romans)
This would explain the region, the (murdered man's) skull, and the gender.

Trust me, you still don't mess with women from Carlisle.
(Ducking and running in case any Cumbrians spot this southerner dissing their women-folk.)
