Caves with Ice Age artefacts become UNESCO Heritage Site
A set of six caves housing over 50 artefacts from the last Ice Age has become the 42nd UNESCO World Heritage Site in Germany. The artefacts, which were composed of bone and ivory, date back 33,000 to 43,000 years. Modern humans first arrived in Europe 43,000 years ago, taking up residence in the caves in the Swabian Jura mountain range.
