A valley in northern Israel has produced 10 handaxes deliberately shaped around fossils and geodes, unprecedented for a single Acheulean site. What did early humans see in strange stone? #Palaeolithic #Acheulean #HumanEvolution https://www.anthropology.net/p/shaped-around-the-fossil-acheulean

New dating evidence pushes ‘Ubeidiya in the Jordan Valley back to at least 1.9 million years old — roughly the same age as Dmanisi. Were two different hominin groups leaving Africa at the same time? #HumanEvolution #Paleoanthropology #Acheulean https://www.anthropology.net/p/ubeidiya-is-at-least-19-million-years

A 500,000-year-old tool made from elephant bone, found in England, reveals how early humans used rare materials to sharpen Acheulean handaxes with precision. Ingenuity leaves quiet traces. #Archaeology #HumanOrigins #Acheulean #Paleoanthropology

Interesting paper that touches on #paleolithic #anthropology and #arthistory, as well as the history of #archaeology

Does this 15th c painting of a Saint who was stoned to death depict an ancient #acheulean handaxe?

The #FallowDeer Dama celiae sp. nov. with two-pointed antlers from the Middle #Pleistocene of Madrid, a contemporary of humans with #Acheulean technology https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12520-023-01734-3

Cut marks suggest that it was consumed by #Neanderthals and probably was hunted.
