Return to History 8 Human Origins Vocabulary
Grave goods are items that were buried with a deceased human, and are usually given as aid in the afterlife. Examples of grave goods include medicine, jewelry, plants, clothing, pottery, tools, and decorative items. Early hominids, particularly Neanderthals and early H. sapiens, began to place such items (particularly tools and medicines) in graves with the deceased, possibly showing signs of belief in the afterlife.
