I sit down with Dr. Naomi Martisius to discuss recent discoveries at Bacho Kiro Cave located in Bulgaria. Dr. Martisius’s team recently excavated the cave and found some of the oldest Homo Sapien remains in Europe, dated around 45 kya. In the cave, dozens of small personal ornaments were made of bone, teeth, and stone. Dr. Martisius explains how they were determined to be ornaments, how they were worn, and what they may have meant to the people who wore them. We also discuss ancient tool technology, evidence of creating clothing, and the dynamic setting the occupants of the cave lived in.
