Anthropological Anthropology Bone Burial Emile Riviere Skeleton
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Plate XIII of Emile Rivière's seminal work, "Paléontologie: Antiquités de l'Home dans les Alpes-Maritimes," published in 1887. The photograph depicts the skeletal remains of two young boys discovered in the Grottes des Enfants, or Children's Caves, located in the French Alps. The boys, believed to be from the Neolithic era, are shown with clusters of perforated shells and possible traces of decorated clothing. Emile Rivière (1835-1922), a renowned French anthropologist and anatomist, meticulously documented and studied these findings, contributing significantly to the field of anthropology during the Victorian era. His work was groundbreaking in its time, as it focused on the study of human remains and artifacts to understand the history and cultures of ancient civilizations. The boys' skeletons, preserved in the Children's Caves, offer a glimpse into the lives of these ancient individuals. The perforated shells, likely used as adornments or tools, provide evidence of their connection to the natural world and their cultural practices. The possible traces of decorated clothing suggest a society that placed value on personal appearance and expression. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Alps-Maritimes region and the invaluable contributions of Emile Rivière to the field of anthropology. The image remains a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the past to better understand the present and the human experience.
