We’ve had #fire for longer than we thought
Cave sediment in South Africa suggests #HomoErectus used fire nearly 1.8 million years ago
Before now, the earliest evidence of the use of fire by hominids was from the same cave — the Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa’s Northern Cape province — and dated to about 1 million years ago. The new evidence comes from an earlier and deeper level of sediment, says Univ of Toronto #archaeologist Michael Chazan.

We were visited by Maria Hackl, a #music #archaeologist, who shed light on a fascinating recent discovery:
a small medieval bone flute.While there are many depictions of #medieval instruments, it’s far less common for the original objects to survive. Instrument makers used materials that were readily available — This flute was likely made from the leg bone of a goose!

Oldest evidence of people starting #fires
Heat-reddened clay, #fire-cracked stone, and fragments of pyrite mark where #Neanderthals gathered around a campfire 400,000ya in #Suffolk, #England.
Based on chemical analysis of sediment at site, along with the telltale presence of pyrite, a mineral not naturally found nearby but very handy for striking sparks with flint, British Museum #archaeologist Rob Davis and colleagues say Neanderthals probably started fire themselves.
