Gay Caveman

I found an article from The Telegraph that talks about the "gay" caveman found in the Czech Republic. I love how it is all based on the fact that he was found in a grave with grave goods normally associated with females and was laid to rest in the female position. Due to being found with these type of grave goods our first assumption must be of a gay person. This is where clearly North American cultural thinking is playing into our ideas and interpretations of what we find. Taking the information from this article it clearly shows the lack of, looking at other cultures to come up with a better answer then to assume he is a "gay caveman."
