    Default ancient woodworking - a new find

    I'll let the article talk for itself.

    VERY EXCITING.

    Yes just read that about an hour ago. They likely sat around the camp fire having heated discussions on bevel angles for the stone axe.

    That might not be as silly as it sounds.

    Given the unbelievable state of preservation, this may be retained in any of the hack-marks.

    I'd bet they were as interested in the efficient use of a cutting edge as much as we are... perhaps more so, for survival was at stake. A broken tool may have been very bad indeed.
