Oldest hafted stone tools in East Asia found in China, dating back 160,000 years
Researchers working in central China have identified stone tools shaped for attachment to handles between 160,000 and 72,000 years ago. The findings appear in Nature Communications and shift long-held views about technological development in East Asia...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@stonetoolsblog/115828083257631023
Today's AI boom is not the first, though it is definitely the biggest. Today we speak of systems being capable or incapable of AI. Back in the day, even the lowly #c64 was put to work in the #AI mines.
I was curious to see how that worked, and to understand the original boom a little better. That led me into looking at Japan's "Fifth Generation Computing" initiative. I had no idea how spooked the West was by that announcement!
Campbell's Soup, Sputnik, feline taxonomy, the movie PI, and a Connection Machine all make appearances in the newest post. I swear it makes sense when you read it!

At Terra Amata, early Europeans shaped local limestone into flexible tools 400,000 years ago.

Rare 30,000-year-old personal toolkit reveals life of a Stone Age hunter
Archaeologists have uncovered a rare and remarkably preserved collection of stone tools, dating to around 30,000 years ago, at the Paleolithic site of Milovice IV in the Czech Republic.
The collection, discovered during excavations carried out in 2021, consists of 29 blades and bladelets...

Early humans used ochre for advanced toolmaking at Blombos Cave, study finds
A recent study led by researchers at SapienCE has revealed that ochre—previously considered primarily a symbolic pigment—played a crucial role in the production of sophisticated stone tools by early modern humans in Blombos Cave, South Africa, during the Middle Stone Age (MSA), between 90,000 and 70,000 years ago...

The bone, antler and ivory artefacts from the #Magdalenian sites of Gönnersdorf and Andernach-Martinsberg (Germany) are being re-examined by use wear analysis.
This provides new insights into manufacturing techniques, usage, repairs and reuse.
Research into finds made from organic materials has long been somewhat overshadowed by #stonetools , although they provide valuable information about the #behaviour and everyday life of people in the #Palaeolithic.
