White-tailed eagle talons -necklace? - from the Krapina
Neandertal site in present-day Croatia, dating to approximately
130,000 years ago. White arrows point to notches, perhaps from
necklace or bracelet. That would be 80,000 years before the
appearance of modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens)
in Europe.
