Archaeologists reconstruct the 'invisible' Stone Age technologies
Original: Archaeologists Are Reconstructing the 'Invisible' Technologies of the Stone Age
Archaeologists are working to reconstruct perishable Stone Age technologies that rarely survive in the archaeological record, such as rope, thread and twine. By studying indirect evidence like wear patterns and impressions, researchers are revealing how early humans developed sophisticated fiber crafts. The work highlights how much of ancient technological life, made from plant and animal materials, has long gone unnoticed.
Why now: New Smithsonian coverage of research into perishable ancient technologies has drawn attention for reframing what Stone Age innovation looked like.
