A Bronze Age gold-worker once believed to be a “stout man” from the time of Stonehenge has been revealed to be a woman after new DNA analysis of her remains.
The 4,000-year-old burial, discovered near Stonehenge, in the UK, contained gold-working tools, a battle axe and a decorated cloak.
Researchers say the findings provide the first evidence that women were also skilled craftworkers in Britain’s Early Bronze Age, challenging long-held assumptions about the roles of women in ancient society.
