I once found a rock similar to B at my house in Oregon. I live in the Cascade Mtns. foothills, on top of the end of a basalt ridge running west out of the mountains. Ideal corridor for hunters. One side was obviously chipped away, making it still sharp.

“Because the people across southern Africa all chose to make the tools look the same, it indicates they must have been socially connected...”
Or they had one guy hawking his tools and he moved around a lot. “Get yer red hot Swiss Army Knife here!” and evidently he belonged to the Swiss Army, (or at least stole their idea for a knife) which was really unusual because up until now we thought Switzerland didn’t exist till
the middle ages, 1291 they say.

Surprised “middle school” lasted as long as it did. It sounds so blah and nothing special to promote the little darlings. At least jr. high has “high” in it.

Archeologists make great fiction writers.
They have a fertile imagination. From a tooth they can extrapolate how big the animal was, what it had for dinner, the color of hair or fur, social habits...

That’s what they tell me. I always thought Junior High School was much more grown up than Middle School. No one likes to be in the middle.

I found a hand ax on my property in New England. I took it to a local university and the archeology department took a look and estimated it’s origin at about 8500 years ago.

Several had said that the Clovis Point was the Swiss Army Knife of the early Americas. It was much more useful than just dispatching Mammoths.

Heh, it’s not that farfetched. Could also be due to very long trade routes, including seagoing trade routes. If the trade wasn’t seagoing, it wasn’t getting to Australia.
