威廉·巴克兰德1823年在南威尔士帕维兰的山羊洞发现的部分人类骨骼是英国旧石器时代的标志性遗迹之一。最初被认为是罗马人的旧石器时代，从19世纪中叶开始被怀疑。已经进行了几次直接放射性碳测年“红娘子”的尝试，在这里，我们报告了新的测定结果，表明它是旧石器时代中晚期一组“丰富的”墓葬中最古老的。我们列出了类似的欧洲格拉维特时代的墓葬，最近已经确定了日期，以供比较。在这篇文章中，我们还重新考虑了人类使用洞穴的年表，除了作为埋葬地点。(C)2008年，爱思唯尔有限公司出版。
The "Red Lady" partial human skeleton found at Goat's Hole, Paviland, in south Wales by William Buckland in 1823 is one of the iconic relics of the British Paleolithic. Originally thought to be Roman, a Paleolithic age has been suspected from the middle of the 19th century. Several attempts have been made at directly radiocarbon dating the "Red Lady," and here we report new determinations that suggest that it is, by a significant margin, the oldest of a group of 'rich,' Mid-Upper Paleolithic burials. We list similar Gravettian-aged burials from Europe, which have been dated recently for comparison. In this paper, we also reconsider the chronology of human use of the cave, apart from as a burial location. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
