Divers Find 10,500-Year-Old Wood That Could Rewrite Hunter-Gatherer History
Original: Divers Discover 10,500-Year-Old Wood That May Rewrite the Story of Hunter-Gatherers https://gizmodo.com/divers-discover-
Divers have recovered wooden artefacts dating back roughly 10,500 years, a find that could reshape what archaeologists believe about hunter-gatherer societies at the end of the last ice age. Because wood rarely survives that long, the discovery offers an exceptionally rare glimpse into how early foragers used tools, built structures and organised their lives. Archaeologists say such material may challenge existing assumptions about the sophistication of pre-agricultural communities.
Why now: The exceptional age and rarity of preserved wood makes it a striking archaeological discovery with implications for early human history.
