Hundreds of Stone Tools Dating Back a Million Years Found in a Gold Mine

Archaeologists found hundreds of stone tools in a gold mine located in the Eastern Desert Atbara River (EDAR) area of Sudan (approximately 45 miles east of Atbara) that could be as old as a million years. The tools were believed to have been made by the Homo erectus species. Because of miners looking for gold in the area, archaeologists were able to analyze the ancient tools found in the exposed layers of the mines. The large tools included quartzite hand axes that contained transverse cutting edges and almond-shaped cleavers that had chamfered edges on each side that created a pointed tip. Stone flakes were also discovered which is what lead archaeologists to think that the site was used as a workshop.

Diving in the icy depths: the scientists studying what climate change is doing to the Arctic Ocean – The Conversation Weekly podcast

In this week’s episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast, two experts explain how melting ice in the far north is bringing more light to the Arctic Ocean and what this means for the species that live there. And we hear from a team of archaeologists on their new research in Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge that found evidence of just how adaptable early humans were to the changing environment. Every summer, the sea ice in the Arctic melts – but it’s melting more and more each year. In September 2020, the ice covered 3.74 million square kilometres in the Arctic. That might sound like a lot, but it was actually the second smallest measurement ever – and roughly half of what was measured in 1980. This dramatic loss is because the Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the rest of the planet.

9,000-Year-Old Campsite With Hundreds of Artifacts Unearthed Near Rhuddlan Castle

An ancient campsite and hundreds of stone artifacts were unearthed near the 13 th century Rhuddlan Castle in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, Wales. Additionally, they were located close to Twthill which is the location of a motte (or mound) dating back to the 11 th century and is believed to be where the town’s first castle was built. Denbighshire county councilor Ann Davies explained that a house was approved to be built on Hylas Lane which is near the castle and Twthill so they decided that an archaeological dig would be conducted prior to the construction and that’s when they found the artifacts and campsite.

9,000-Year-Old Camping Hotspot Found Near Welsh Castle

“We found a lot of worked flint from the Mesolithic period,” Richard Cooke explained. “There were three post holes, material from which was carbon dated at between 9220 and 9280 years old.” In total, the archaeologists recovered 314 stone objects buried at the site. In addition to flints they also found many chipped pieces of chert, a hard sedimentary rock made from quartz crystals that is suitable for making tools. A few intact, rudimentary stone tools made from these materials were found at the new site, including scrapers that were likely hand-manufactured to cut meat and/or scrape hides, and small sharp blades called microliths that could function as versatile knives. They also discovered a tool they referred to as a “ notch,” which they believe was used to shape pieces of wood into useful objects.
