Bedburg-Königshoven (Mesolithic antler frontlets)

Archaeological sites in Germany

Red deer antler headdresses (or red deer antler caps) were modified red deer skulls, including the antlers that may have been used as a head-dress. They are often believed to be the oldest traces of shamanic and religious behaviour. Two of the small number of head-dresses currently known were discovered during archaeological excavations at the Mesolithic site of Bedburg-Königshoven (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).
