It appears that they also cherished gold. A vast, amazing hoard of golden rings that were formerly worn by a woman in her hair 6,500 years ago was discovered in 2022 by archaeologists in Romania. There were 800 bone beads, 169 golden rings, and a beautiful copper spiral bracelet in the cache. Given the size of the skeleton and the lack of weaponry in the burial, it was presumably the property of an aristocratic woman in the Copper Age society who was also well-fed.
