题目内容
14.A recent archaeological discovery made in Germany:excavators(挖掘机) working to uncover a Stone Age site near Leipzig have found a rather special ornamented (有装饰的)purse-one that's studded(镶满饰钮的) with a hundred dog teeth.And according to the archaeologists,"It seems to have been very fashionable at the time."The purse was found at what is believed to be an ancient grave site dating back to about 2,500B.C.To date,the project has uncovered evidence of Stone and Bronze Age settlements,including more than 300graves,hundreds of stone tools,spear points,bone buttons,and an amber necklace.
Nothing at the site compares to the dog teeth purse.Archaeologists say it's a very unique find,and an indication that dogs played an important role in the lives of Stone Age cultures.Writing in National Geographic News,Andrew Curry offers some explanations:as rare as the dog teeth purse may be,but canine(犬科动物的) teeth are actually fairly common in Stone Age northern and central European burials.
In fact,the sheer numbers of teeth in graves around the region suggest dogs were as much livestock as pets-the purse cover alone required the teeth of dozens of animals.
In other area Stone Age burials,dog and wolf teeth,as well as mussel shells,have been uncovered in patterns that suggest that corpses(僵尸)were covered with studded blankets.More commonly,though,dog teeth are found in hair ornaments and in necklaces,for both women and men.
Given that dog's teeth were very popular back then,it's difficult to find out the exact function or nature of the purse.It very well could have been something"fashionable",or an item used for practical or ceremonial purposes.One thing's for sure,though,it's pretty cool.

A.the dog teeth purse used to be popular
