#Neanderthal glue points to complex thinking
The stone tools were unearthed around 1910 at a French archaeological site called #LeMoustier that scientists believe Neanderthals used between 120,000 and 40,000 years ago. Since the 1960s, the tools had been untouched and individually wrapped at the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Berlin.

Published Feb 26, 2024"The researchers were initially surprised to find traces of #ocher, as it reduces the stickiness of #bitumen. However, when they made their own version of the glue, using bitumen from a bituminous lake in the France’s Massif Central and ocher from Italy, the reason became clear.
"Their study, published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, found that the makers of the stone tools used the adhesive to mold a handle rather than haft the tool to wood.
"'The bitumen there is very sticky and makes everything on you unusable if it touches the bitumen. Everything on you is sticky with black stains and it smells. But if you mix in high ochre loads, what you get is a viscous mass that can actually be touched and used as handles,' Schmidt said via email."

#Öcher # Streuselbrötchen gab es auch. Leider klappte das damals nicht so gut mit den Lieferzeit Versprechungen was den Dienst dann nur am Wochenende wirklich nutzbar machte.. -
Was wirklich noch fehlt ist ein Lieferservice für #Öcher #Streuselbrötchen für mich lieber von #Nobis für die @Carbella13 von #Moss wobei, die braucht den Lieferservice vielleicht nicht so sehr, denn die ist ja regelmäßig in der #Kaiserstadt unterwegs.
