Africa's oldest human sacrifice 'confirmed' in Sudan by coldrum on Wednesday, 17 June 2009

Africa's oldest human sacrifice 'confirmed' in Sudan

FRENCH archaeologists in northern Sudan say they've unearthed a 5,500 year-old Stone Age tomb which they believe confirms the location of Africa's "oldest human sacrifice".

In a graveyard in Al-Kadada, north of Khartoum, the archaeologists have dug up the tomb of a man and a woman facing each other in a ditch, with bodies of two women, two goats and a dog buried nearby.

The discovery "confirms'' excavations last year which found traces of the oldest human sacrifice ever identified in Africa, said Jacques Reinold, a researcher for the French section of the Sudanese antiquities department.

The unearthed bones date from between 3,700 and 3,400 BC, a period considered to be one of the key stages in the transition from a hunting to a farming society.

The Al-Kadada region, on fertile land alongside the Nile, is regarded as one of the cradles of humanity in the Neolithic era.

Reinold's team also unearthed polished axes, a millstone, make-up palettes and ceramics at Al-Kadada.
