Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of two newborns dating back 27，000 years while excavating a hillside in northern Austria， the scientist in charge of the project said Monday.
日前，奧地利考古學(xué)家在奧地利北部克雷姆斯地區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了兩具不尋常的嬰兒骨架。專家稱，這兩具骨架來(lái)自冰河時(shí)期，距今已經(jīng)有2.7萬(wàn)年歷史。
Last week's find near the Danube River city of Krems is important because the newborns were buried beneath mammoth bones and with a string of 31 beads — suggesting that the internment involved some sort of ritual， said Christine Neugebauer-Maresch， the project's leader at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

"They could be twins，" she said. "They have the same （length） limbs and were buried together." The burial — one of the oldest in the region — is also significant in that the children were not simply disposed of after their deaths，
Neugebauer-Maresch said. The burial suggests "they were members of society，" she said.
