A new study may have found the original location of the 30,000-year-old work of art and researchers gain insight to the Gravettian people because of it.
study used 3-D technology to scan the statue and see inside. The researchers found the statue was made of oolitic limestone. They could then analyze the statue’s internal structures and compare it to rock samples from elsewhere in Europe.
The most significant similarities appeared in the samples from Northern Italy, and the study’s authors believe the raw material used to carve the Venus came from south of The Alps. This means the statue was either carved in what is now modern-day Italy and then carried north, or the raw material was moved and later carved in Austria.
