Description
English: The so-called Venus of Tan-Tan is a pebble found in Morocco. It is 6 centimeters long and has been claimed as a possible "figurine", gender indeterminate and headless, dated between 300,000 and 500,000 BCE. It and its contemporary, the Venus of Berekhat Ram, might be the earliest representations of the human form.
Español: Posible figura antropomorfa de unos seis centímetros de alto. Es de cuarcita, con varias hendiduras, algunas naturales y otras, al parecer, artificiales. Además conserva restos de ocre. Ha sido datada, con no mucha precisión, en torno a los 200.000-300.000 años de antigüedad (algunos la retrasan hasta los 400.000); es, en cualquier caso, contemporánea de Homo heidelbergensis.
Fue descubierta en 1999 por el equipo de excavaciones del arqueólogo alemán Lutz Fieldler, a un 15 m de profundidad en un sedimento fluvial del río Draa, cerca de la localidad de Tan-Tan (Marruecos).
