Tviek (BC) is one of the few Middle Stone Age sites in Brittany, which is located in Kuibei along with Torce Cape, Hedic and Belleville.
In the past 35 years, it has been the theme of biota protection plan.
Therefore, for contemporary archaeologists, landing on the island has become a troublesome thing, because the period from April of 15 to August of1year is usually forbidden, but this is not always the case.
From 1928 to 1934, archaeologists Mather and Saint Just Péquart discovered and excavated a rich cultural and archaeological site on the island, dating back to 5700 BC to 4500 BC.
According to most historians, this is considered to be the end of the Mesolithic Age in western France, overlapping with the beginning of the Neolithic Age. After the first discovery of the mausoleum, marty and st. vincent pequet.

0), the main discovery of this site is a large number of middle bones formed by oyster shells and mussel shells, 10 tombs, containing 23 bones, including adults and children.
Shells also contain animal remains, such as dogs, crabs, fish, lobsters, seabirds, deer and wild boar.
Due to the acidity of the local soil, although many bones show obvious signs of cruelty and violence, including a bone with an arrow and a middle bone composed of shells and animal bones, these bones provide insight into life on the island, but these bones are still very well preserved.
However, among all the discoveries, the most fascinating and mysterious one is undoubtedly a tomb, including the bones of two women aged 25-35, who are called "Mrs. Tavier".
Their bodies were carefully buried in a pit, and part of the pit was dug to the ground, covered with debris from Middle-earth.
For hundreds of years, these bodies have been protected by roofs made of antlers, and their legs have jewels made of flint, wild boar bones and shells, such as necklaces, bracelets and rings.
These tombs were excavated from the whole site and are now displayed in the Toulouse Museum. After 20 10 repair, it won many awards, and Ms. Tavietz selected skull trauma.

After examining these bones, the scientists concluded that one of them was hit on the head five times, two of which may be fatal, at least once between the eyes.
The other body was also scarred, but not as violent as her friend's.
However, in recent years, some archaeologists have debated this diagnosis, claiming that the huge soil weight above the tomb may be the cause of bone damage.
When reading this article, there may be an obvious problem: how can the weight and composition of any soil, no matter how heavy it is, prove that the arrow shot between the eyes is correct? It doesn't make any sense, does it? In 20 12, in an exhibition called "Prehistory: Investigation" in Toulouse Museum of Natural History, the replica of these two bones was placed on a stone slab in the mortuary for the first time. This exhibition is very popular in France, so you need to create an atmosphere. Many TV programs are about crime scene investigation and forensic medicine. They always start from the forensic medicine desk-right here. Dr. Francis Duranson, curator of Toulouse Museum of Natural History, said that more than100000 people visited the exhibition, while 200000 people watched it up close in Paris. In order to solve this prehistoric mystery, scientists conducted isotope analysis on the teeth of these two women, and the results showed that their diets contained seafood and meat.
This led scientists to speculate that the two females may come from a small community that breeds, harvests the ocean and hunts.
The exhibition also shows that this may be a community where women play more family roles.
Duranson said, "It is unusual to find women killed in this way during this period. We know that at least two people were involved in these murders.
",evidence a? The skull of Travis' cemetery.
The woman died of violent death at the age of 25 to 35, a large number of skull fracture and bone damage related to the impact of an arrow.
According to several scholars, food robbery was quite common at that time, and they thought that these two unfortunate women might be victims of bloody robbery.
However, some historians claim that a series of unfortunate meteorological phenomena may have caused the deaths of these women.
At that time, drought usually destroyed an agricultural community, and an extreme hail destroyed crops, which people would regard as a signal to appease the gods.
Therefore, these two women may have been killed by people they knew-even family members-and died as victims of ritual murder. So, what happened to "Ms. Tweiqi"? Because there are many historical mysteries in the past few centuries ... We may never know! Above: Rebuilding a prehistoric mausoleum with two women in their twenties or early thirties.
