Siberian tomb offers evidence of cannabis use 2,800 years ago
Cannabis seeds and chemical traces in preserved hair from a Scythian tomb in southern Siberia suggest people used the plant for its intoxicating effects about 2,800 years ago, though experts question the evidence.
Interpretation of hair evidence
The hair compounds, considered with cannabis seeds from the same grave, suggest cannabis was used for its intoxicating properties.
The hair analysis is scientifically weak and does not establish consumption; traces could have come from external exposure in the tomb.
Strength of conclusion
The findings are described as the oldest directly dated archaeological evidence of cannabis use for intoxicating effects.
The data do not distinguish cannabis use from other explanations, and the hair evidence carries the study’s main claims.
