Magdalenian Girl

Magdalenian Girl is the common name for a skeleton of an early modern human dating from 13,000 to 11,000 BCE, in the Magdalenian period. The remains were discovered in 1911 in southwestern France in the Cap Blanc rock shelter, and since 1926 have been in the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois. It is the most complete Upper Paleolithic skeleton in North America. For years, the individual was thought to be a young girl, because her wisdom teeth had not yet advanced, but new analysis indicates that her wisdom teeth were impacted, and that she was actually 25 to 35 years old when she died.^[1] This is the oldest recorded case of impacted wisdom teeth.^[2]
