Eleven finely made stone bifaces, never used, buried in Ohio — and nobody knows why. A new study on the Joshua Cache shows how much a single find can reveal, and how little it can prove. #Archaeology #EasternWoodlands #LithicTechnology www.anthropology.net/p/eleven-bla...

New geochemistry study traces 780,000-year-old basalt handaxes & cleavers at Gesher Benot Ya’aqov to specific flows, including ones now buried. Cleaver makers went to different sources than handaxe makers. Deep knowledge, long tradition. #Acheulian #Paleoanthropology #LithicTechnology
