BERLIN – The apparition of a woman in Bronze Age revealed. This is obtained from the results of skull reconstructions and DNA remnants from Central European women who are estimated to have lived 4,000 years ago.
Researchers found that the female form of the Bronze Age had dark hair with white skin. It is known that this young woman was among the wealthiest inhabitants of Bronze Age Bohemia.

As reported by Live Science, the woman was buried with five bronze bracelets, two gold earrings and a three-strand necklace, more than 400 yellow beads, and three bronze sewing needles.
Researchers reveal that he was part of the nětice culture, a group of people from early Bronze Age Central Europe known for their metal artifacts, including ax heads, daggers, bracelets, and twisted metal necklaces called torcs.
Although it is not clear who the woman was, researchers believe she was extremely wealthy. Archaeologist Michal Ernée of the Institute of Archeology of the Czech Republic’s Academy of Sciences said she was probably the richest female grave of the entire nětice cultural region.
The woman lived between 1750 BC or 1880 BC, according to radiocarbon dating of the tomb where her bones were found. The grave is near the village of Mikulovice in the north of the Czech Republic, near the Polish border.
This area and the surrounding area is known as Bohemia because they were the kingdom with that name before World War I. The 27 graves in the cemetery prove to be an extraordinary treasure trove of artifacts, including some 900 amber objects.
“We have amber in 40% of all female graves. There is more amber in this single grave than in all nětic graves in Germany. We have two neighboring regions of one archaeological culture, but the social systems may not be the same,” Ernée said.
It is said this Amber likely came from the Baltic, suggesting that the ntice people were part of a vast trading network in Europe at the time. Bronze objects were made by contemporary Europeans.
Ernee added, bronze things found all over the continent, but the raw materials for bronze, tin, and copper came from only a few regions.
