The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph 2
The second of these caves were we took shelter from the rain. They were not really that deep, only a few metres more behind me until the end. ~
"There is no indication that the caves were ever used as human habitat, but two separate human burials have been discovered within the caves. investigators made an exciting discovery in one of the caves; a human skull, missing its jaw bones, was found in a small stone enclosure. A second set of human bones was discovered in a niche in the rear of the cave wall.
These remains both suggest intentional burials. Radio-carbon dating of the bones, along with a later find of two further human remains, suggests that they were buried here between 2515 and 2720 BC. A small object made from reindeer antler was also found, dating to about 850 years ago, and a small pin made from a walrus tusk dating to about 2,000 years ago.
In total, over 1000 pieces of reindeer antler have been found in the Bone Caves, with dates ranging from 47,000 to 8,300 years ago. The large number of reindeer bone suggests that the area at the head of the glen was used as a calving ground. One rare find was the skull of a Northern lynx, dated to 1,770 years ago. This is the only Northern lynx ever found in Scotland. Other intriguing remains include a possible polar bear, arctic fox, wolf, and brown bear."
