The Sungir burials
Tens of thousands of mammoth-ivory beads sewn on the dead
At a site near Vladimir, burials about 34,000 years old were found: an adult man and two children in clothing sewn with more than 13,000 mammoth-ivory beads, with spears of straightened tusk. The beads alone took thousands of hours of work, so people already had rituals and perhaps inequality.
