Ancient Ice-age Toolkit Gives Glimpse of Prehistoric Life

December 19th, 2007 by admin | Filed under discovery, prehistoric.

Archaeologists have found a bag of tools that were prepared 14,000 years ago, before the end of the last ice age. The said toolkit, one of the most complete and well preserved of its kind, provides an intriguing glimpse of the daily life of a prehistoric hunter-gatherer. It contains the following: a sickle for harvesting wild plants, a cluster of flint spearheads, a flint core for making more spearheads, a cluster of gazelle toe bones, and part of a second bone tool.

“There was a sickle for harvesting wild wheat or barley, a cluster of flint spearheads, a flint core for making more spearheads, some smooth stones (maybe slingshots), a large stone (maybe for striking flint pieces off the flint core), a cluster of gazelle toe bones which were used to make beads, and part of a second bone tool,” he said.
