Three bags adorned with dog teeth, found in the graves of Neolithic women in Krauschwitz, Saxony-Anhalt, belonged to the Corded Ware Culture around 2800-2200 B.C. These women were likely of high social status, as evidenced by the decorative bags requiring nearly 350 dog teeth for full embroidery. The bags served significant purposes, possibly as baby carriers, and their intricate design and materials indicate they were costly and labor-intensive items belonging to an elite class. Locations of burial suggest these bags were personal belongings, not inherited.
The elaborate bags decorated with dog teeth were likely used by women of the social elite in the Corded Ware Culture, showcasing high craftsmanship and social status.
Pouch-shaped bags carried on straps, adorned with both dog teeth and occasionally wolf teeth, imply their significance and specialized use possibly as baby carriers.
