In a 5,000-year-old tomb, archaeologists have uncovered the skeletal remains of 14 individuals, including men, women, and children.

At the Neolithic Energy project, the approach is different from direct lithium extraction to enable the production of high purity lithium.

An 8,000-year-old pearl that archaeologists say is the world's oldest will be displayed in Abu Dhabi, according to authorities who said Sunday it is proof the objects have been traded since Neolithic times.

Brazilian officials said Friday they have recovered pieces of a 12,000-year-old fossil of a neolithic woman that was among the prized artifacts in Rio de Janeiro's burnt down National Museum.

For the first time, a definite example of cranial surgery has been found in a cow from Stone age that suggests that animal trials were held before graduating to humans, a study said.

A 5,000-year-old 'house of the dead' has been discovered in the UK that could contain the remains of the ancestors of those who lived around the iconic prehistoric monument Stonehenge, archaeologists say.

A huge religious complex built about 5,650 years ago has been discovered near Britain's most famous prehistoric monument Stonehenge, a finding which shows that entire area was even more sacred and ritually active than previously believed.

Chinese archaeologists yesterday excavated a 4,500-year-old city Neolithic Chinese city in eastern Anhui Province.

Archaeologists have unearthed skulls of over 80 young women in the ruins of the largest Neolithic Chinese city, suggesting they may have been sacrificed more than 4,000 years ago.
