The 8000-year-old skeleton of a young man found near the village of Ohoden has been taken to the Regional History Museum in Vratsa. The skeleton, already dubbed by the Bulgarian media as “the first European”, was discovered recently by archaeologist Georgi Ganetsovski who specializes in paleolithic settlements. It belonged to a 35-year-old man with a height of 165 cm. This is the fourth 800-year-old skeleton found in the Valoga region near Ohoden, and the first one belonging to a man.

So which is it, 8000 or 800 years old. I am guessing 8000 since 800 years ago there were many males in Europe. Do they not have editors any more?

I’d be interested to know the dating methods used. It’s probably 8000 years +/- 3000 years
