The Whitehawk woman (above) is named after the place of her burial – the Whitehawk suburb of Brighton. She lived around 5,500 years ago during the Neolithic period and is just 4 foot 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, small even for the time. Studies on the skeleton reveal she was born on the Welsh border but moved to Sussex, where she was buried. There are no signs of illness or injury. However, fetal bones found around her pelvis indicate she probably died in childbirth.
