Stone Age culture sacrificed hundreds of decorated stone plaques to try to coax the sun back.

Ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica show traces of a volcanic eruption around 2910 B.C. that would have probably caused global cooling and affected harvests.

The burial may have been in response to a potentially cataclysmic event, an archaeologist says.
