@anthropology.netA round hole in a 75,000-year-old Neanderthal shoulder blade from Shanidar Cave points to a wooden spear, maybe the first trace of wooden weapons in the prehistoric Middle East. #Neanderthals #Archaeology #HumanEvolution www.anthropology.net/p/75000-year...
@lemoustier.bsky.socialOne thing that won't get as much attention as the wounds is new info on team's continuing meticulous work disentangling the taphonomy - how deposits formed & how bones got there. Understanding what went on with #Neanderthals here can help us interpret other complex sites inc #Naledi at Rising Star.

@sethchagi.bsky.socialWhere did #Neanderthals actually come from?
Species don’t arrive with birth certificates. Their genesis is an 800,000-year story of isolation, bottlenecks, and deep-time survival.

@lemoustier.bsky.social🏺Was poison part of adaptive differences in weaponry between H. sapiens and #Neanderthals?
New paper arguing potential for its use in Danish Mesolithic projectile tech joins recent consideration of its role in MSA in Africa
@sohkamyung.bsky.social"In a recent Science Advances study, a team of Spanish archaeologists has cataloged 597 wooden remains from Neanderthal living areas dating from 62,000 to 40,000 years ago. They found spears, digging sticks, bark trays, parts of shelters, and a club"
@uncrownedaddiction.bsky.socialAt Barcelona’s Abric Romaní, 62,000–40,000-year-old wood traces reveal Neanderthals made spears, trays, a possible club and structures, demonstrating versatile woodworking skills.
@sethchagi.bsky.socialThe #StoneAge? But what about the #WoodAge?
New evidence sheds light on #Neanderthals utilizing wood in complex ways for a myriad of tools!

@anthropology.netNeanderthals worked wood. At Abric Romaní, travertine kept the molds of 597 wooden pieces, 13 of them worked: spears, bark trays and a club with no known Old World parallel. #Neanderthals #Archaeology #HumanEvolution www.anthropology.net/p/neandertha...
@paulguinnessy.bsky.socialSome of the woodwork is incredible. #Neanderthals
@lemoustier.bsky.social🏺 🦣 🧪 Been waiting YEARS for more deets on astonishing wooden objects used by #Neanderthals at Abric Romaní (a site which, as anyone who's read #Kindred knows, I rave about). Can't wait to dive in: bark(!) trays, wood tools inc poss spears, and structural objects
@sethchagi.bsky.socialWhat REALLY happened to the #Neanderthals?
Tired of hearing “we killed them all”, “a volcano!” Etc. and all these frankly ridiculous claims?
