Abrading stone new find
Allyn T:
Just read an article that scientist now have confirmed a stone 350,000 years old was used for abrading. They previously hadn't seen that type of tool use before 200,000 years ago.
Hawkdancer:
Seems like knapping is a pretty old skill! Now, if they can find a piece of work connected to it.
Hawkdancer
Allyn T:
They said this was actually pre-knapping. It was used to abraid soft items like hide or plant material
Digital Caveman:
I can't imagine that tool would take very long to invent.
Allyn T:
They said bashing tools, then chopping then cutting. Makes sense that those would come first.
