The fossilized remains of two Late Pleistocene young boys reveal that ancient hunter-gatherers gave them a royal burial, fit for an ancient king. The remains of the two children are from the Sunghir burial site in Russia that was excavated between 1957 and 1977.
Despite archaeologists having known about the Sunghir burials for decades, a new study revealed that Late Pleistocene societies saw different individuals being treated in different ways after their death.
