Skeletal remains of the Red Lady of Paviland with text below saying: These skeletal remains (without a skull) were discovered in Paviland cave in the Gower peninsula, south Wales in January 1823 by Anglican priest William Buckland from the University of Oxford. They are 33,000 years old & are stained with red ochre. Buckland thought the skeleton belonged to a woman and so they came to be called the Red Lady of Paviland.
