Pre-historic miners in Europe

The Smithsonian magazine site has an interesting article about a 3D rendering of 2 female skeletons found in a chert mine* in what is now modern day Czech Republic.

The bones of the skeletons were carbon dated to between 4050 and 4340 B.C.E., making them 6,000 years old.

* Chert was used to make stone tools and weapons
