Beads from the site of Ksar Akil (Lebanon) found closely associated with the skeleton of an early modern girl dating to between 39,000–41,000 years ago. The beads shown here are made of the shell of a small marine snail (Nassarius gibbosulus/circumcinctus). The large Glycymeris valve in the centre was not pierced, but its surface preserved bright red pigmentation. (Credit: Katerina Douka and Natural History Museum London)

First gay marriage, now people are dating beads.

[Repeal The 17th]

"...the most complete skeleton of a young girl,
thought to be about 7-9 years of age buried at
the back of the rock shelter, has been lost.
Lost also are the fragments of a second individual,
found next to the buried girl..."
- Perhaps it is in here somewhere?

Audible (audiobook site) has this “Great Courses” section. I found this series very enjoyable and I bet that you would, too.
