Abstract in brief
- A ritual murder linked to the solstices was discovered at the Middle Neolithic site of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux in France, where two female bodies were found positioned in an unusual manner.
- The practice of ritualized homicide, originating in the Mesolithic, evolved during the Early and Middle Neolithic in Central Europe, becoming connected to agricultural sacrificial rites.
- An examination of 20 cases across 14 sites over nearly two millennia showcases the development and prevalence of this ritual murder practice throughout Central and Southern Europe.
