Archaeologists Reconstruct the 'Invisible' Technologies of the Stone Age
Original: Archaeologists Are Reconstructing the 'Invisible' Technologies of the Stone Age
Archaeologists are working to recover Stone Age technologies that left little or no trace in the archaeological record, such as rope, thread and twine. Because these perishable fibre-based tools rarely survive, researchers reconstruct them through experiments, impressions left on other artifacts and comparisons with later finds. The work suggests plant-fibre technology was far older and more sophisticated than the surviving material record indicates, reshaping views of early human ingenuity and daily life.
Why now: The Smithsonian feature has drawn attention for highlighting technologies archaeology normally overlooks.
