Elba is the first woman dated from the Mesolithic found in Spain. She was Galician, with dark eyes and hair and, for more information, lactose intolerant. It was supposedly dedicated to herding and today it would be about 9,300 years old.
Elba's ncomplete skull appeared in 1996 and the other bones were found in several expeditions since 2010. The tests carried out on the remains with carbon 14 revealed that it is 9,300 years old and the food allergy it suffered.
His punished bones reveal that this female who only measured five feet (and who supposedly worked with huge animals) led a very hard life. That probably in childhood had suffered a strong blow to the head that caused a head injury. That he fed poorly, with long periods of scarcity. He suffered from osteoarthritis and surely endured strong dental pain for months before his death. I mostly ate vegetables. And for the collagen it is known that it was not exactly from the area, but from some rather close granitic territory. It was an autochthonous Galician, linked with other remains found in the north of Portugal.
The genetic analysis showed that she was a woman with dark eyes and hair, lactose intolerant, belonging to haplogroup U, characteristic of European hunter-gatherers, and in particular to subhaplotype U5b1, originated in the Iberian Peninsula 16,000 or 20,000 years ago.
The research, which has lasted more than 10 years, has been updated as technological advances emerged that allowed improving the way of working. The importance of this finding is the oldest western sample studied in Europe: "It is an exceptional finding because it is normal to find burials and in this case we have found a woman who was working".
