The burial inventory of the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg includes a box made from a hollow crane bone. It contained 31 finely worked flint chips, so-called microliths, and was already discovered during the first excavations in 1934. How was the crane bone worked so that it could be used as a box? For what purpose were the microliths used?
These and other questions are answered by the state archaeologist Harald Meller in this episode of "Archaeology exclusive: new research on the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg".
The grave of the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg is one of the highlights in the permanent exhibition of the State Museum and a world-class find. The deceased was buried about 9,000 years ago with an overabundance of equipment underpinning her status as a shaman. On 4 May 1934, it accidentally resurfaced from the darkness of history. In the film series "Archaeology exclusive: new research on the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg", the tomb and the buried woman will be revealed their last secrets. This is achieved with the help of the state-of-the-art analysis methods and the most recent archaeological and anthropological findings.
