Human bones used for making pendants in the Stone Age
In the Stone Age, pendants with potent symbolism were made from animal teeth and bones, adorning clothes or accessories and serving as rattles. Human bones were also used as a raw material for pendants, as demonstrated by a study where burial finds dating back more than 8,200 years were re-examined after 80 years.
Appearing in Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, the finding is quite a sensation, as the objects are simple pieces of bone with one or several grooves cut into them. In a previous study, the bones were classified as animal bones.
The pendants made of human bone raise many questions: Whose bones were they made of and how were the bones acquired? Did the people wearing the pendants know whose bones they were made of? Did the origin of the bones make a difference? Read more.

Hold on, I remember Alina suppressing her own power so that she wouldn't be separated from Mal but I have nothing in my memory about how Mal didn't get found out as a living amplifier. It is such a big deal that the Darkling is one but was it ever explained why Mal avoided detection? Did his amplifying only work on Alina?
Yeah it’s never explained 💀It’s implied that Alina has felt a a “jolt” several times when she’s touched him but also it’s apparently not something she recognizes as an amplifier.
These both happen in S&S, during the chapel scene:
And then more obviously telegraphed foreshadowing a bit earlier:
You could argue that Alina’s idk new at being Grisha and can’t tell but Zoya literally slept with him (iirc? she def made out with him at least, there was skin contact!) so there’s no reason she shouldn’t know???
I guess the book tries to suggest that his amplifier power only seems apparent when he… closes his hand around her wrist?
But it makes no sense when the Darkling has an entire separate tragic backstory— written… while LB was working on R&R, so literally concurrent with the Mal amplifier reveal— about how he had to avoid touching any Grisha in his youth at all because they would immediately realize what he was and kill him for power.
Like this bit in Demon in the Wood makes it super clear that he’s not holding her wrist lol
And this seems to imply any touch is dangerous?
Which, I mean is also in keeping with the trilogy proper where any time the Darkling touches anyone at all it seems to have a noticeable effect. You could maybe argue that the trilogy cases are him using his power on purpose, because it seems to be something he can control at all. But also that still doesn’t jive with shdhff the main moment Demon in the Wood hinges on!
Honestly I’d respect it as a discrepancy more if it was lampshaded as Morozova’s amplifiers being special or it having to do anything with Ilya Morozova specifically trying to hide that quality in his daughter that he resurrected and Mal… inherited that? I also just think it would be funny if it was addressed and the Darkling was taxidermy fox.jpeg about it because it would probably piss him off soooo bad that Mal just never had to worry about any of the issues of being a living amplifier.
But afaik it’s just never discussed lol
