15,000-Year-Old Seal Tooth Pendant Reveals Ice Age Culture

A piece of prehistoric jewelry discovered in a West Country cave is helping to shed new light on Stone Age Europe’s most spectacular culture. Researchers have identified a 15,000-year-old pendant made from the tooth of a grey seal, found in Devon, England. This exceptionally rare artifact offers a remarkable glimpse into the symbolic and social lives of the Magdalenian people, who dominated much of Western Europe during the final millennia of the Ice Age.
The identity of the mysterious artifact, found in Kents Cavern almost 160 years ago, has finally been revealed by scientists from University College London and the Natural History Museum. Initially thought to come from a badger, wolf, or beaver, a new detailed scientific analysis has found that the tooth actually came from a seal. It is the first such artefact identified in Britain, and only the fourth known anywhere in Europe from this time period.
