Ancient hominins carefully selected basalt for tool production nearly 800,000 years ago
Early humans living near an ancient lake in northern Israel nearly 780,000 years ago showed a detailed knowledge of the landscape around them when selecting stone for tools, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports...

New geochemistry study traces 780,000-year-old basalt handaxes & cleavers at Gesher Benot Ya’aqov to specific flows, including ones now buried. Cleaver makers went to different sources than handaxe makers. Deep knowledge, long tradition. #Acheulian #Paleoanthropology #LithicTechnology https://www.anthropology.net/p/what-the-stone-remembers

780,000-year-old charcoal from Gesher Benot Ya’aqov reveals that early hominins may have chosen their campsites partly for firewood access. Even the wood they burned tells us how they read their landscape. #Paleoanthropology #Acheulian #HumanEvolution https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-wood-they-burned-firewood-driftwood

New study finds that 200,000 years ago, as elephants and other megaherbivores vanished from the Levant, so did the handaxes and heavy stone tools used to process them. Prey size may have driven tool size all along. #Paleoanthropology #Acheulian #Paleolithic #Archaeology https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-the-giants-left-the-handaxes
