Cheddar Man sex or gender male
Archaeological context
The near-complete skeleton, an adult male who probably died in his early twenties, was discovered in 1903 by labourers digging a drainage ditch. No grave goods have been reliably associated with the skeleton. It is likely that Cheddar Man was moved to the cave after death as part of what may have been a Mesolithic funerary practice, although it is also possible that he simply died in situ.Cheddar Man has been directly radiocarbon dated on two separate occasions, giving calibrated dates of 8540-7990 BC and 8470-8230 BC.
