Archaeologists Reconstruct the Stone Age's Invisible Fiber Technologies
Original: Archaeologists Are Reconstructing the 'Invisible' Technologies of the Stone Age
Smithsonian Magazine reports that archaeologists are working to recover the perishable technologies of the Stone Age — rope, thread and twine — which rarely survive in the archaeological record. Using traces left on tools, imprints in clay and surviving fragments, researchers are reconstructing how early humans made and used fiber technology, revealing skills that were far more advanced than stone artifacts alone suggest.
Why now: New research and coverage are highlighting how fiber crafts like rope and twine reveal underestimated Stone Age sophistication.
