Prehistoric gourmets are no less modern

From hunting trips 12,000 years ago, prehistoric people proved to be as fabulous as modern people when they knew of flesh and bones and took bone marrow to eat.

All of this has been discovered by a group of archaeologists when excavating a land of Danish prehistoric times and published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

Accordingly, scientists found bone fragments of wild boars, red deer, elk and bison in southern Zealand, Denmark. Most of them are elk bone fragments.

Due to good preservation, scientists have developed models that allow analysis of activities related to how deer meat has taken place.

According to archaeologist Charlotte Leduc of the University of Paris, ancient hunters knew how to cut off deer heads and other body parts to skin off animals. Then filter meat from parts like the front and back limbs. In particular, they break the bone to get the marrow to eat raw, this is a delicious dish at many restaurants in the world today.

'Bone marrow was enjoyed by hunters right after slaughtering the animal. That's a reward for a successful hunt, ' said researcher Wietske Prummel of the University of Groningen.
