Oxford scientists in Morocco have uncovered the earliest examples of human jewellery ever found.
The 82,000 year-old artefacts were found by a team in Taforalt, Northern Morocco, under the direction of Professor Nick Barton of Oxford’s Archaeological Institute.
Professor Barton said, "We’ve recently confirmed the date of these very ancient objects. The jewellery is 40,000 years older than the earliest examples of jewellery previously uncovered in Europe.
