Ice Age Art: 35,000-Year-Old Mammoth Sculpture Found in Germany - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News: "In southwestern Germany, an American archaeologist and his German colleagues have found the oldest mammoth-ivory carving known to modern science. And even at 35,000 years old, it's still intact.
Archaeologists at the University of T�bingen have recovered the first entirely intact woolly mammoth figurine from the Swabian Jura, a plateau in the state of Baden-W�rttemberg, thought to have been made by the first modern humans some 35,000 years ago. It is believed to be the oldest ivory carving ever found. 'You can be sure,' T�bingen archaeologist Nicholas J. Conard told SPIEGEL ONLINE, 'that there has been art in Swabia for over 35,000 years.'"
