Document Summary
Paleolithic old stone age what we read about was the late period of this time period. Bronze age copper and tin combines (3rd and 2nd millennium bc) Used microscopic evidence: found phytoletes particles. Minerals of the plant that were used to determine neanderthal break down of plants. Soo many found in cave that they had to be brought in. Suggests that they were collecting the seed/and not the plant: all of these particles were found in grains, trees and cereals. Found a grinding stone found a lot of barley around it and began doing starch analysis. This was the first time that we see hunters and gathers picking a spot: stayed there where food was available year round instead of being nomad. 10,000 early traces show that neanderthals were able to make dough after they break down the cornel and then put water in it. Animals were domesticated in the lands which they were found.
