[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Yes, here is it also common to give ancient individuals name after the place they were found, like "The Barum woman" or the "Österöd woman": Sometimes though they can give other names like "the Rasberry girl", a neolithic woman whose last meal consisted of rasberries. Another example is the "Hedgehog girl" a neolithic girl named after remains of hedgehog in her grave. Then some get nicknames too like "Naia" from Mexico or "Luzia" from Brazil. People from ancient cultures can also get collective names after the archaeological culture they belonged to, like "the Battle axe people". So how one calls ancient individuals are not always consistent. In archaeological reports they often just get a number, or a geographic designation combined with a number. But in newspapers or popular books, and even in textbooks one sometimes can se people being referred to as ancient Swedes, or Brazilians and so on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
