Wooden artifacts are extremely rare, but wooden artifacts of this age, and hunting weapons at that, are nothing short of astonishing. The hunting tools, the oldest wooden weapons in existence, owe their perfect preservation to an airtight layer of peat

That is the oldest confirmation of hominid tool use yet. This may change how we see early humans coping with ice age conditions and reset the human migrations out of Africa.

Peat is such a great preservative that there is no telling what is still out there. Smiles, Marty
