5:30 pm
suggests the buildings had at least 2 stories. ah, the rooms are small and have little no daylight. the excavations confirmed that they were largely used for food preparation and storage as yet, there is no indication of any part. so lanes between the buildings now can, we can say with some confidence that the settlement was very densely constructed. wherever we dug, we uncovered walls on the line. it is increasingly clear that the little rooms be excavated and the initial phases were too small for people to live in the i'm of we therefore assume that much of the villages life to place on the roofs and in nature of the hole in the la to of that one. as hunters and gatherers, small numbers of humans had spread out across bos territories. now hundreds lived close together for marianna benson. this raises
5:31 pm
a number of questions. how's the people lived in houses built side by side for at least 500 years often, but largely without any apparent conflict. it's hard to imagine that the neighbor wasn't 500 meters or a kilometer away, but right next door, exactly. that is extremely, socially challenging and honest. it allows on the home little is known of how the people of the time organized. there lies. what rules were stablish to protect social cohesion, and which familial constellations made use of the buildings. and how since associated with jojo gretzky of the german archaeological institute examines the bones found during the excavation to learn more about how the people were related to each other. the ages and the causes of death. does not the bones are very fragile, but when he brushed the dirt away,
5:32 pm
you can see them very clearly. but as soon as you pick them up, they fall apart and we have to reconstruct them in the laboratory and therefore unable to obtain the results we can get from well preserved skeletons. nonetheless, guleski is able to come to some initial conclusions thus, yes i this is a child scuttle it's facing in my direction. part of it still concealed in the earth under the wall. unfortunately, there are at least 2 people here, one adult, one child. there might be more children, flight american, or at the time people were buried under the floors inside the buildings rather than some distance from the village. as the stinker dozens of why i think our modern burial practices would be as much of a mystery to them as theirs are to us. we try to keep our distance from death. of course our burial sites are not located in our houses. in fact,
5:33 pm
we try to establish them outside population centers, so we can stay as far away from death as possible. i mean, that may be, this would have been considered inappropriate back then for the da modeling for it . it may even be the complete opposite of what they believed that i from the embassies is a good afternoon. ah, jemila was also buried below the floor of a house where she would have remained close to the living. as most a foster they will be up to lay. i was sealed and whitewashed, i to resemble the rest of the floor. one tavar below that was a layer of stone chip. safely touch log and then intentionally shattered sandstone tiles that glitter like a mother of pearl in the sunlight when the broken dan, one thought come the quarter below that was the large slab monetary and raising that was very exciting. how was it? we lifted it up and when we saw was sand comes that we brushed and brushed and
5:34 pm
brushed. the team feared that the grave was empty and was close to re sealing it. and then come the us and then we saw the beads. at 1st we numbered each one individually, and then we began numbering groups actual some eventually we were just taking photos and making small sketches before we removed whole bundles. there were $2500.00 beads and oh, and also $12500.00 beat. more than had ever been found in one place in this area. where did they come from? and what was their purpose? in the spring of 2019, the valuable objects are sent to the academy of art and design in stuttgart. which spec wise is in conserving historical cultural discoveries. ah, elise pooh account is responsible for restoring each individual element of the artifact . while the archaeologist halla ashy is tasked with reconstructing the entire piece
5:35 pm
by evaluating traces left during the production process and in use, a lot of she is able to determine what purpose certain beads served ah, the barsha treasure is kept safely in a small back room on the 3rd floor, at least, work out nose every inch of it in incredible detail as that. so our financially, when the objectives were connected in bags and it was impossible to determine what condition the individual beads were in that as i'm one of course the archaeologists expressed their wish that we would produce an exhibition piece. but we had to evaluate everything. first, the all time whether this would be possible, depending on the condition of the beats, and how many could actually be exhibited. and austin, 1000 bmw,
5:36 pm
at least poor cut, examines every single one of the $2500.00 beats, checking the deposits on the surface. and carefully removing them under the microscope using a variety of methods boycott attempts to restore each valuable bead to as close to its original state as possible. she then use a synthetic resins to conserve the beat, and prepare them for the process of reconstructing the entire pace. this treatment can be reversed if future generations of scientists have access to new technical processes and wish to re examine the original beats. incredibly, the restoration. that's our eventually able to pass around 80 percent of the 9000 year old be john to holler ashy. first of all, we tried to understand the position of all this beats without saying that this is
5:37 pm
a nicholas or this is a belt or didn't. we just try to understand the relation of the beats with the bones. and we, so during today's commission that just beats where for some traded on the neck of a child. after considering the archaeological data, we started to concentrator exclusively on the beats and her try to understand that initial position. one discovery in particular, proved useful in reconstructing the ancient jewelry. while the 1st things that we found during the desk, evasion was drink. as it was completely in a vertical position. so we started by excavating the edge of there in which a, which was very, very fragile. and we had to go down very, very carefully. after i think 3 days, we finally got the entire ring,
5:38 pm
but it was fragmented, of course. and during this conversation, we found that we still have small beats stuck to these before asians. and so we not, we knew her since the beginning that there ink had a very important role in this necklace. the mother repelled, ringing is the centerpiece of the necklace and ties it altogether. the ring itself is produced from a single large shell. ah! in order to gain a deeper understanding of the methods and abilities of the people at the time, the akio technician voice hain, attempts to create an accurate replica of the original. this may not be a rigorously scientific experiment, but it provides some indication of what tools and techniques were used 9000 years
5:39 pm
ago. that is from him. from the moment i heard about the badger be necklace, i ought to recreate it using original stone age tools or enlarged one for to touch the 1st. when i had to find a large shell for the shopping, the ominous at the outline of the ring is edged on to the shell using a beerin made by splitting a sanction of a piece of flint, with a single well aimed blogs in it. yet if she could have killed that worked, the edge here is what we will work with. the others cut to metabolic layer 3 motion, at least this metal was probably used to car the entire ring out of the shell. but you have to be very careful when drilling you have to turn on to be and exert very
5:40 pm
little pressure. otherwise, the drill bit, all the shell, my break, the shell may have been somewhat exotic, but the people of bars are most likely found the raw materials for the sandstone beat on their doorstep vanished what they were probably produce using the same method we've seen elsewhere should i tried it several times. it takes a lot of patience and care. every 5th beatle so breaks his clenched these small stones, a ground smooth lou, the edges of the stones are sanded down to produce the necessary curves. the next step is particularly risky. voice haine carefully uses
5:41 pm
a flint bit to drill a tiny hole through the beat. zoe, this is lost now the whole is completed color. we could sundown each be individually. but there is also another possibility. we can place several beats on a stick i'm stuck stricken. when virginia physical them run the entire row over the slide together, mikka, none of those are strength letter which sorry ah, literally about instruction by turning the stick back and forth. i could ensure that all the beads and up the same size is quite a fast process. the corners and edges are already gone. if i continue doing this for half an hour for an hour, then the beach will all look fairly similar. the to current i limited when you got
5:42 pm
the beats were unbelievably small. an intricate, the people must have been very skilled and i've had sensitive hands in order to produce something so fragile. ah, the necklace is proof of the exceptional workmanship and the aesthetic sensibilities the early set entree humans were capable of. and in no way conforms to familiar cliches about primitive stone age, people are inspired by the nicholas the teen named the girl in the grave. shamella the beautiful. ah, imagine that this importance of this child that they took this hull, oh masterpiece and put it, hide it in the earth or after all this work. so yes, it's that now it has a lot of dimensions that we are only starting to understand.
5:43 pm
every element of the necklace has several stories to tell about the raw materials, the production techniques, its place within the greater whole. and about the dead girl herself, ah tamela in so fennel is jemila has made his change by changing accepted preconceptions of the neolithic age that the new stone age is often depicted as crude and simple. but the jewelry and the construction of the grey suggest that people had special skill sets and that there was a far ranging trade network or key the d. c. m quite the necklace is turquoise stone. this came from sinai while the shells were from the red sea. and the way it was thread, it had suggested it was something very special. i'll skin that this alice kansas on that as far the discovery of other delicate pieces of jewelry,
5:44 pm
including fragile pendants and apparently mass produced rings made of red sandstone, reveals that the people of the age devoted a lot of time to producing hand crafted luxury goods. the artifacts uncovered by the archaeologists confirmed that they were made in almost every single house to the limitations on struggling infant bond. shaw to the renowned barger sandstone rings were made from coast disks that were more or less round. they were then hollowed out by scraping a deep grooves in which eventually allowed the centerpiece to be removed. heil done her last name. these the experimental archeologists reveals the next steps in the production process. not a little ruined after the sender is removed when there are 2 ways of working on the red feed. we can either use our b or into achieve the shape go want or we send it down into the right size. and
5:45 pm
nicholas lighting lies sound a sounding and grinding. it would have been older boy to any one approaching a neolithic settlement for a long way away. the fragile sandstone rings remain something of a mystery, new business, and we don't know quite what they were useful. we assuming that quantity played an important role, the more rings one had the more prestigious one was he shot. my theory is that they were used as coupons for trade him. that objects could be exchanged for certain services or favorites up to the india. such objects may also have included shells or ring, and there was symbols of appreciation and help to increase social cohesion. yeah. interestingly, there was also
5:46 pm
a type of forgery at the time. similar rings were the same, distinctive red color. well sir, produce using mall in nearby basta. it was much easier and faster to work with mildly than with sandstone. and the rings were then simply dyed red. these rings were produced in areas where there was no sandstone. wooden forgeries have been a part of life ever since humans learned to make things sad. the mental or duty of motto, philip, and copy, or the demand for certain goods and far ranging trade networks came at a cost. ah, the villages existence increasingly depended on access to raw materials and market forces. the exotic materials used to produce tremulous necklace are just one example of the significance of valuable objects. objects which had to be paid for
5:47 pm
somehow a further challenge was maintaining a peaceful society in such a small space as yet no indications of any form of hierarchical structure have been found. ah, madame modern study if reveals that once a group consists of a 150 people or more, it becomes very difficult to maintain control and ensure that disagreement stand escalate. megan aiden. does that conflict management is essential watchman. up to 500 people lived. in barger, a large settlement by the standards of the time social conflicts could have led to a rapid breakdown of the community. this is just one of the possible factors that may have caused the inhabitants of barbara to abandon the settlement for ever. around 6900 b c. up these and big long. it is difficult to say whether this development was
5:48 pm
a result of collapse or simply change then, and perhaps a greater differentiation set in among the later settlers before one season began to move about and returned to the nomadic lifestyle. while others settled in smaller villages incline on and off on perhaps this was a better model fiarty, but that was both more sustainable and more socially compatible. had for practicum much of basha has been preserved as a result of the settlements remote location, jemila grave and her necklace are the most significant artifact found at the excavation site to date. and we'll now we put on display in the new petro museum. ah. the countries entire history is on display here with barsha, appearing almost at the very beginning, barger also marked the beginning of development, which changed human lives far more than industrialization did in the 19th century
5:49 pm
or digitalization is today. cultures came and went settlements, rose and fell. people moved on, but humans never returned to their former hunter gatherer existence. these ground breaking developments are preserved at a meal as burial sites. hussein l sabbah is therefore determined to ensure that the grave is reconstructed as accurately as possible. my part is to rebuild the system of the grave in the museum and this is what i am doing right now. and i think it looks good. what do you think? in another room, in the museum, andrea fisher alleys poor, cut and ha ashy. are similarly excited to see their work finally come to fruition sole after world. now, events and the necklace was broken down to its
5:50 pm
component parts for the journey from germany to jordan, to ensure that the ancient piece of jewelry arrived unscathed. the strings of beads are now re attached to form the necklace that 9000 years earlier, grieving parents had placed around the neck of their deceased daughter. hello laura . she has produced a sketch to use as a guide. the concepts they really thought before composing this necklace. it was studied and not only in terms of beads, it was also measured and conceptualized in terms of strength and chords. and this means that the other people were also involved not only beat makers, but also probably people who wears specialized in making chords or making strength certain tasks were most likely performed by specialists. an early
5:51 pm
example of division of labor. how the inhabitants of badger sauce, the raw materials remains a mystery. if you want to have exotic materials, it's better that you'll be in a very or well situated village, where you can work your network and relationships. and in order to get her nice, a good quality from mateus, and it is strange that they are almost hidden between the mountains. so this is weird when you see their environment. when you see the village, when you see the location, despite the remote nature of the village, barges inhabitants had close ties to their surroundings. it is impossible to say just how extensive this network was. but the people were certainly part of the wider world. while the experts in the museum are hard at work rebuilding jimmy las nicholas excavations continue on the plateau. marianna bent discovers a slab from
5:52 pm
a grave. is history repeating itself? once again, a burial site is found just as excavations draw to a close, but husky or ca. gabriel has his doubts. it's not him. after clearing the entire area, i now have a different idea. it's possible that the slab is simply lying on the floor and that there isn't actually a grave at all. i'm not sure. the plaster and the layer of ash would suggest that it is a grave that i can't be 100 percent sure. is only i would brush away some more of the dirt and then use the scrape or to uncover moles bottle goods, much as you know may be lifted slightly on cobra and then check if there is anything underneath it or not. there's a 90 percent chance of it being a grave with lots of bones. so you're very optimistic it sounds different here than it does here. can you hear it? does come on, i national the might just be
5:53 pm
a hole in one place. i'm sure that's true. really of, i'm under, it now leaked from the it's lou snap on tool. it's on pull it out horizontally as we don't know where the frank jer is it's as much islam. now it's more damage than before. was it was careful plea. he oh dear, it's of puzzle pieces, naya pye dave, one of us resumed. fortunately, we have so restore as long as thought torn the buck i know precisely the slab has been removed and the tension mouse lives. there are some larger stones here. once again, molly on has to work quickly as the excavation is about to finish for the year.
5:54 pm
evening falls and work stops for the day. bozza has a welcoming mystical atmosphere despite its remote location. and the hard work of the excavations the archaeological team has been rewarded for to years of perseverance, with the discovery of jemila and her necklace. at the petro museum, hollard ashi, andrea fisher and elise boycott are also about to be rewarded. jemila nicholas has been completed and it's ready to be exhibited. finally, we finally found the appropriate place for it. yeah. okay. yeah. so i'm, yeah, that's how it should be. it looks good. ah, we have, it's here. it's not only on paper, so we have it's really in the museum,
5:55 pm
so it's really great. ah. on the barge a plateau. the last day of excavation has begun. so i removed the layer of plaster, but there's nothing but sand underneath doesn't produce hardison with. that's a shame, i thought that be more nothing has been found below the stone slab, but jojo guleski has discovered and laid bare a child sco in another room. a 2nd sco remain stuck in the earth. despite the time pressure gretzky hopes she can extract it in one piece. ah,
5:56 pm
pollyanna, mary, on hands georg, look what i found yourself when was, what is it? yes, the child scowl was here, and here's the cervical spine, and the ribs institute. the upper arm is precisely where it should be. and as a beautiful necklace around the neck, yet a bead necklace. palinkas is up. yeah. yeah. with long beads and a beautiful red and green stone guinasso time. but with your fantastic ha. and that the last possible moment hello has to see this. the situation is reminiscent of 2018 back then halla, she had to stop what she was doing in order to retrieve shameless sensational necklace. now in 2021, the same thing happens again. jojo caskey who discovered the grave, has to catch a flight and hal at us, she assumed responsibility for retrieving the jewelry. it is as though the ancient graves of badger are telling the team. make sure you come back. there is still much
5:57 pm
to discover. ah halla laura, she has collected the beads and numbered them. she will remain in albania for a time in order to examine the artifact piece by piece. what will this discovery reveal about human existence? 9000 years ago. in recent decades, barza has provided a wealth of information that has changed, accepted wisdom, about the people of the neolithic age. our distant ancestors were able to spend time engaged in creative aesthetic and decorative pursuits because of an abundance of food. basha has fundamentally altered our understanding of the past. yet so much about the ancient settlement still remains a mystery. for now. a
