...Flintstone Workshop of Neanderthals in... Poland... approx. 60,000 years old

Did they find any stone time cards?

Seriously though, this is a fascinating find.

All flintwork done with hard (stone)hammers or "hammerstones". Good flint material; could produce far better tools.

Early creation of "flake tools" (retouch and use of flakes knocked off core in the course of producing "core tools" such as hand axes & choppers).

(Earlier knappers worked only on the cores -- and discarded the [useful] flakes.)

AFAIK, "Neanderthals" never developed the all-important use of "softer" (antler, bone, wood) tools for "soft hammer" percussion flaking and for the "fine work" of pressure flaking...

I see no evidence at all of the use of "soft" tools in the reported and pictured assemblage.
