Archaeologists Reconstruct the Stone Age's Invisible Technologies
Original: Archaeologists Are Reconstructing the 'Invisible' Technologies of the Stone Age
Archaeologists are working to reconstruct perishable Stone Age technologies such as rope, thread and twine, which rarely survive in the archaeological record. Smithsonian Magazine reports on research using experimental archaeology and microscopic traces to reveal the fibre-based crafts that underpinned prehistoric life, arguing that these overlooked innovations were as important as stone tools.
Why now: A new Smithsonian feature on rarely discussed Stone Age fibre technologies has drawn attention and debate among science enthusiasts.
