I was hoping you would post this. I read it yesterday and realized something. Wouldn’t this make Thor Heyerdahl correct about his origin theory?

Something interesting about the lithics in that image, the two lighter shaped “axes” in the center are arch shaped and asymmetrical, the shadow shows this. I think they are actually spokeshaves for working wood just parked upside down. If they were arched the other way I would say wood gouges for hollowing out. Is so that would be cool technology for the time.

Nope, They are flat and could be used for either. So are two of the small ones at the bottom. Cool, stone wood gouge/shaves....
