ah what happened all those thousands of years ago? and what does the grave reveal about life in barsha? this neolithic settlement? no. the 26th of june 2018. in barger, the years excavations are drawing to a close, and the archaeologists are carefully recovering the final artifacts from the site. it is business as usual, until the team suddenly comes across shameless grave. they are amazed by their

discovery i. the grange was extremely elaborate. as all the grave goods alongside tremulous remains i would say that the necklace of this child is outstanding. it is a fascinating piece of jewelry to console against. it gives you goosebumps, but it's incredible. even compared to ancient. petra was one times taught the berry treasures taken to germany for further examination, the restoration experts. antonia fisher and ali spook heart, prepare the beads so that the archaeologist ha, she can reconstruct the necklace which will then be returned to jordan.

suddenly the modern world is brought to a standstill by a virus. international travel largely ceases. and national borders are closed. finally, an autumn of 2021. the experts from the fire only vegetate billions ex adi and to scientific association, are able to return. with shameless, restored nicholas or the stone age artwork is to receive a special place in the new petro museum. near the basha excavation site, archaeological discoveries are only allowed to be taken out of jordan for research purposes, but they remain the countries property before jemila nicholas is mounted in the museum, the restoration experts and archaeologists make another visit to the discovery site . what will they uncovered this time?

husky, oak ca, gabe who came to basha in 1984 and has overseen the excavations ever central's austin khalid read z, add a li, fazel, and mohammed a members of the marine tribe. some of them have spent decades assisting with the excavations along with their families. many of the local bedouins once lived in and around neighboring petra, as tourism became increasingly important. the jordanian government moved them into a purpose built village. albedo village is also the base camp for the badger, archaeologists. the necessary equipment is stored in one of el bait as simple houses. the team only ever take what they really need with them. as getting to the

site is extremely difficult. with the pickups, make their way through the dusty rocky landscape to the entrance into the deep basha gorge. the spouse vegetation here requires irrigation to grow these large trees. on the other hand, grew without human interference. they marked the beginning of a gorge shaped by masses of water, of a thousands of years known locally as a seek from here, the team has to continue on foot. the luggage makes the climb even more challenging . multiple journeys are required to transport everything to the site.

despite the difficulties, the seek remains the easiest way to access the well hidden location. it is safe to assume that people took the same route to the settlement, 9000 years ago. somewhat unsurprisingly, father was 1st discovered by a mountaineer. more than 30 years ago, the austrian climber came across some stone age tools at the foot of one of the rock walls. housekeeper ca gabor's, learned of the discovery and set out to investigate, guided by curiosity and lock. in 1984, gabriel had to navigate the gorge without equipment. these days, 3 lad is remain in place in the seek during the excavations while the others are required at the site itself. with the remote hidden location of the stone age village,

protected the artifacts from grave robbers, and from later human expansion and construction towards the top of the seek opens up to reveal the high plateau. the archaeologists have named barsha after the surrounding mountains. marian benson hans kia ca gabe or find themselves in familiar surroundings. but it is the 1st time andrea fisher and alleys, poor cod, had laid eyes on the excavation site, which amelia's grave and the beads, the 2 restoration experts have now been working on for almost 2 years, were found for thousands of years. the only visitors to this place consisted of a k personal goat heard as the 9000 year old village was discovered during the removal of the 1st layer of earth. archaeologists can only based

their conclusions on materials able to survive for millennia, such as rock, horn, bone, or shell, the jordanian archaeologist an art historian, serene. albuquerque uses the scientific results of her colleagues as well as her knowledge and her imagination to bring the village back to life. i shall, bucky was part of the excavation team in 2018 and has developed a strong bond with the ancient site. it is the 5th time marianna bens has visited barsha in 2018. she and halla al at ashi, uncovered tremulous grave. that's over for the me version is like winning the lottery and and i was able to excavate a number of graves that told me a lot about ancient social structures. that is my specialist else to now mind the transition from the magic to sedentary ways of life and the resulting social

changing se. as we'll try to find that, in barger, one of the oldest villages discovered to date this transition occurred around 9000 years ago. along with jericho and hazel baster and other places, basha is part of the so called mega site phenomenon along the jordan rift valley, which introduced new socio economic patterns to the area. oh, initial settlements were founded here around a 1000 years. be, see these settlements expanded covering areas of up to 16 hector's. then banished again. barger lies approximately half way between the red sea and the dead sea. at the edge of what he out above. the dead sea region acts as a form of natural archive for geologists and hydrologists. the strata all layers of rock and soil reflect the climatic conditions of the past. a warm period

began around 12000 years ago, causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. the changing climate resulted in cold, damp winces, and hot summer months. ideal conditions were growing grain and legumes. these changes, along with the fertile soils, allowed previously nomadic peoples to settle in one place. villages sprung up and then expanded. their inhabitants farmed the land and enjoyed the new found leisure opportunities at the time, the landscape between a mom and october probably looked similar to the north of modern day jordan, where reforestation efforts are now proving successful.

to date it is not known how the people who lived on the plateau gained access to water. there was no indication that there was a spring in the vicinity. did the villagers perhaps use the seek as a reservoir? and what did this remote plato look like at the time? you know, life is changing from bus until now and i don't know, we have many things that make high temperature endorsed. and at before in the site, they have like cam water source around, the site indicate from the tools they stick to. it's also when you find some tools they use it for, again, like see. and this is indicate that they use it for planets and it was good eleven's gone blither. they're the people of barsha lived are farming and their livestock month. they primarily grew lagoons. and we have found conclusive proof

that they formed pays the alps as animal proteins provided by sheep and goats and johnston would do shop. we assume that the field stretched out towards valley arabic and were also located up here towards the east of the arabian plateau. pushed him while the arbor at the time this mount, the beginning of the vast stems which are now desert, or yet the coals steppin unpinned so the american side, or to whose this population numbers increased rapidly. carbohydrates were now readily available, which was not the case for hunter gatherer societies. women were therefore able to give birth every 2 years, rather than every 4 to 5 years. but why would people choose to settle in such a constricted area?

there would have been a limited amount of land available for farming and access to water was as problematic then as it is now. for tyler z, even darlin does as up one of the advantages of this location is that it is quite remote law. in addition, at once, it was settled, there was little chance of territorial dispute. yeah. and then the people may have argued amongst themselves over land life, but there was no outside threat. it's also muffin of a neat mammoth on the because space was limited. dwellings were built close together layer by layer. the workers advanced further into the past. some of the walls reached depths of around 4 meters,

which suggests the buildings had at least 2 stories. ah, the, a small and have little or no daylight. the excavations confirm that they will largely use for food preparation and storage as yet, there is no indication of any part. so lanes between the buildings there can, we can say with some confidence that the settlement was very dense. we constructed wherever we dug. we uncovered walls, hung my one, it is increasingly clear that the little rooms me excavated in the initial phases, were too small for people to live in the. i'm agree, therefore, assume that much of the village is life to place on the roofs and in nature of the hole in the la to of that to one point. as hunters and gatherers small numbers of humans had spread out across vast territories. now hundreds lived close together

from out on benson. this raises a number of questions. how was the people lived in houses built side by side for at least 500 years, often bought 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. enormous. it allows while the home little is known of how the people of the time organized their lives. what rules were established to protect social cohesion, and which familial constellations made use of the buildings? and how to associate jojo guleski 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. and when he brushed the dirt away,

you can see them very clearly. but as soon as he picked them up, they fall apart and we have to reconstruct them in the laboratory and are 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 skull. 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 of martina at the time, people were buried under the floors inside the buildings rather than some distance from the village. as as dunker dozens of why i think our modern burial prices 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,

we try to establish them outside population centers, so we can stay as far away from death as possible. that may be, this would have been considered inappropriate back then should be 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 forced air, 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 dick was a colo, that was the largest land monetary and raising that was very exciting housing. we lifted it up and when we saw was sand comes that we brushing and brushed and

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 beats. at 1st we numbered each one individually, and then we began numbering groups, national from eventually we were just taking photos and making small sketches before we removed whole bundles. there were 2500 beads and all and calls and 12500 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 were sent to the academy of art and design in stuttgart. which spec wise is in conserving historical cultural discoveries. ah, elise pu account is responsible for restoring each individual element of the artifact. while the archaeologist halla alit ashy is tasked with reconstructing the

entire piece by evaluating traces left during the production process and in use. allora she is able to determine what purpose certain beads served. ah, the barger treasure is kept safely in a small back room on the 3rd floor. alleys workout knows, every inch of it in incredible detail at that. so our, initially, when the objectives were collected in bags and it was impossible to determine what condition the individual beads were in the find one of course the archaeologists expressed their wish that me would produce an exhibition piece. but we had to evaluate everything 1st. but what time, whether this would be possible depended on the condition of the beats and how many could actually be exhibited and arched at 1000 bmw.

at least poor kart examined every single one of the $2500.00 beat. 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 restoration. but our eventually able to pass around 80 percent of the 9000 year old beads on to holla, rashi. first of all, we tried to understand the position of all this beats without saying that this is

sir nicholas or this is a belt or didn't. we just try to understand the relation of the beads with the bonds and to he. so during this commission that is beats where for some traded on the neck of a child. after considering the archaeological data, we started to concentrate to exclusively on the beads and to try to understand then shook position. one discovery in particular proves useful in reconstructing the ancient jewelry. one of the 1st things that we found during the excavation wasn't there, inc. as it was completely in a vertical position. so we started by excavating that edge of there in which our, 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,

but it was fragmented, of course, and during this collision, we found that we still have small beats stuck to these before asians. and so we know we knew her since the beginning that they're in, it had a very important role in this necklace. the mother of pearl ring is the centerpiece of the necklace and ties it altogether. the ring itself is produced from a single large shell. 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

ago. that the for him, from the moment i heard about the badger b necklace, i hope to recreate it using original stone age tools. or, you know, once i didn't touch the 1st one, i had to find a large shell for the shopping. listed as the outline of the ring is edged on to the shell using a beerin made by splitting a section of a piece of flint with a single well aimed blogging it. yet if to houston huskily that worked the edge here is what we will work with. the other cut to metabolic layer motion and is this metal? it 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 little pressure

. otherwise, the drill bit or the shell lay break. the shell may have been somewhat exotic, but the people of bars are most likely found the raw materials for the sandstone beads on their doorstep vanish what they will probably produce using the same methods we've seen elsewhere. i've tried it several times. it takes a lot of patience and care every 5th beat or so brace, which is clenched these small stones, a ground smooth with the edges of the stones, or sanded down to produce the necessary curves. the next step is particularly risky. voice haine carefully uses a flint bit to drill

a tiny hole through the beat. so if, if a loft now the whole is completed, it al it. we could sand down each bead individually. but there is also another possibility. we can place several beads on a stick and stop sticking when dirtiest is and then run the entire row over the slab together. meter none, none of those us thank letter which, sorry, ah, decreed of it in struck him 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 edge is already gone. if i continue doing this for half an hour or an hour, then the beats will all look fairly similar the to turn i limited when you got the

beats were unbelievably small. an intricate, the people must have been very skilled and have 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 sedentary humans were capable of. and in no way conforms to familiar cliches about primitive stone age people. inspired by the nicholas, the team named the girl in the grave. shamella, the beautiful blue. imagine that this importance of this child that they took this whole o 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.

every element of the necklace has several stories to tell about the raw materials, the production techniques, it's place within the greater whole. and about the dead girl herself, ah tamela in so fennel lucas jemila has made his change by changing accepted preconceptions of the neolithic age. youngster. the new stone age is often depicted as crude and simple. but the jewelry and the construction of the gray suggest that people had special skill sets and that there was a far ranging trade network or key cities in them quite the necklace is turquoise stones, 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 hoskins that this alice, kansas and i was on the discovery of other delicate pieces of jewelry,

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 center is removed and there are 2 ways of working on the red feed. we can either use our b or into achieve the shaker won't always sounded down into the right side

syndicalism. her license 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 remained something of a mystery. ms. nick, can 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 and that objects could be exchanged for certain services or favors up to the india. such objects may also have included shells or ring, and there were symbols of appreciation and helped to increase social cohesion p r.

interestingly, there was also 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 village is 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

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. 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 days and big on it is difficult to say whether this development was

a result of collapse or simply change then and perhaps a greater differentiation set in among the later settlers of an 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 so she compatible with hydrogen. much of basha has been preserved as a result of the settlements. remote location jemima's grave and her necklace are the most significant artifacts found at the excavation site to date. and we'll now we put on display in the new petra museum. ah, the countries entire history is on display. here, with barger, appearing almost at the very beginning. barger also marked the beginning of the development which changed human lives far more than industrialization did in the

19th century 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 as a meal as burial sites. hussein al sabah 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, russia are similarly excited to see their work finally come to fruition. sole after world. now, events in the necklace was broken down to its

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 year really thought before composing this necklace. it was studied and not only in terms of needs, 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, where specialized in making chords or making strength certain tasks were most likely performed by specialists. an early 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 for 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 on, you see the location. despite the right 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 jemila necklace, excavations continue on the plateau. marian bent discovers a slab from

a grave. is history repeating itself? once again a burial site is found just as excavations draw to a close. but hans, gail car gabriel has this out. 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 that there isn't actually a grave at all. my, i'm not sure. the plaster and the layer of ash would suggest that it is a grave, but i can't be 100 percent. sure. on this is only i would brush away some more of the dirt and then use the scrape or to uncover mold batter quotes montes, you know, may be lifted slightly on cobra, and then check if there is anything underneath 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 and i

national the might just be a hole in one place and that's true. really. i'm wonder it now the from the it's loose until it's on pull it out horizontally as we don't know where the fracture is. not islam. now it's more damage than before. was it was careful. plea he oh dear, it's of puzzle pieces. now i did one of us visa fortunately we have so restore as long as thought torn the buck i know precisely the slab has been removed and the tension mouse there are some larger stones here. once again, molly on has to work quickly as the excavation is about to finish for the year.

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 2 years of perseverance. with the discovery of jemila and her necklace. at the petro museum, hollered us, she, 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, so it's really great. ah on the bars of plateau. the last day of excavation has begun up. so i removed the layer of glassdoor, but there's nothing but sand underneath my son's child with that's a shame. i thought they'd 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.

pollyanna's, carry on hands gala. look what i found. one was, what is it? yes. the child scowl was here, and he is the cervical spine. and the ribs in situ, the upper arm is precisely where it should be and there's a beautiful necklace around the neck. yet a bead necklace of pancoast is of yeah, yeah. with long beads and a beautiful red and green stone. we're not dying. but with your fantastic, huh. and that the last possible moment she'd ha, ha, ha, see this the situation is reminiscent of 2018 back then. hello, law. she had to stop what she was doing in order to retrieve shamela sensational necklace. now in 2021. the same thing happens again. jojo gretzky who discovered the grave has to catch a flight and halla, she assumed responsibility for retrieving the jewelry. it is as though the ancient graves of badger telling the team make sure you come back. there is still much to

discover ah, hello 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, barger 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 and 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 ah,

into the conflict with sebastian. it says it will stand with ukraine for as low as it takes. but as for joining the union, still a long way to go with the war. now it's 2nd year. what happened to the sense of urgency about the membership here that was so vital,

my guess is week is covering barley, a vice president of the european parliament, conflicts in 30 minutes on d. w with interest, the global economy, our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market dominance is this is way ahead with the w business beyond ah

ah, this is dw news life from berlin, head on trained collision in greece, kills at least 36 people. police are investigating what caused 2 trains to crash and burst into flames between athens center, sullen icky. more than 50 people are seriously injured and the death toll is likely to clap.
