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, materials that rarely survive in the archaeological record. Smithsonian Magazine reports on experimental archaeology revealing how early humans made cordage from plant and animal fibres, shedding light on skills central to hunting, toolmaking and daily life that had long gone unseen.
Why now: New reporting on experimental archaeology offers a fresh look at prehistoric technologies that are usually invisible in the record.
