Whitehawk Woman

Small and slender, Whitehawk Woman is believed to have lived roughly 5,600 years ago and died before she reached the age of 25. Many believe that she passed away during childbirth as the remains of the fetus were found in her pelvic area. She was excavated in 1933 from one of Britain’s earliest Neolithic sites which once were the Whitehawk Enclosure.
