Whitehawk Woman

Petite and skinny, Whitehawk Woman is assumed to have lived about 5,600 years ago and died before the age of 25. Furthermore, researchers believe that she passed away during childbirth as the remains of the fetus were found in her pelvic area. In 1933, she was excavated from one of Britain’s earliest Neolithic sites which once were the Whitehawk Enclosure.

Ditchling Road Man

This may seem somewhat bizarre, but this man was actually named after the road-widening project that brought about the discovery of his remains in 1921. It seems as though, he was one of the first farmers from 2,400 B.C. that arrived from Central Europe. His remains showed evidence that he was truly malnourished during his life, which is the reason that his growth was stunted. Further research showed that he died between the ages of 25 and 35. He was buried with a Beaker vessel and snail shells.
