In an intriguing discovery, the remains of an African man who died just 350 years ago have been found buried in a prehistoric shell midden in Amoreira in Portugal. The middens in Amoreira and other sites in the Muge region are known to archaeologists as cemeteries of the last hunter-gatherers who lived there 8,000 years ago. The study of the Stone Age burial site in Portugal and the unexpected African remains, conducted by researchers from Uppsala University and Universidade de Lisboa, was published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.
