Radical AnthropologyWooden tools -- an assemblage of 35 wooden implements from the site of Gantangqing in southwestern China, which was found associated with stone tools, antler billets (soft hammers), and cut-marked bones and is dated from ~361,000 to ~250,000 years at a 95% confidence interval. The wooden implements include digging sticks and small, complete, hand-held pointed tools.Not as old as Kalambo Falls (Zambia) carpentry, but older than Schoningen spears...<a href="https://c.im/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archaeology</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MiddlePleistocene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MiddlePleistocene</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Asia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Asia</a> <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr8540" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr8540</a>
