Stone Age jewelry

My visit to the Archaeology Wing of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem resulted in countless photographs of antique jewelry and quite a few insights into human behavior.

Necklace and beads from Fazael, Hayonim cave and Nahal Ruth, Israel. The stone age and Paleolithic cultures, ca. 30,000-14,500 years ago. Made of teeth and seashells. The Israel museum, Jerusalem.

Just think about it: these jewelry items were worn by early humans that were hunters & gatherers. Even at that time people wanted to adorn themselves with beautiful items. It seems that we are more alike than I thought!
