Renovation Uncovers 40,000-Year-Old Mammoth Bones in Austrian Wine Cellar

Winemaker's unexpected discovery reveals rare archaeological site, offering new insights into Stone Age hunting practices.

Andreas Pernerstorfer discovered mammoth bones while renovating his cellar in Gobelsburg, Austria.
The bones, estimated to be 30,000 to 40,000 years old, belong to at least three mammoths.
Archaeologists are using modern methods to investigate the site, a first in Austria.
The dense bone layer suggests the mammoths may have been hunted and trapped by humans.
The remains will be studied further at the Vienna Museum of Natural History.
