South-western Cape, South Africa: An initial report on Acheulean stone tool anomalies
A misunderstanding by a grader operator resulted in the unearthing of a possible early stone age tool making site where numerous Acheulean hand axes and more were found.
Also found were several shaped stones – and some shapes as part of a tool.
The shapes in the stones
Among the many hand axes were several ‘tools’ that are not fit for purpose. They do not have any tool-like shape to them. These were initially put aside as manufacturing ‘mistakes‘, but after finding a few animal shaped stones the ‘’odd’ stones were re-examined and they took on a whole new meaning
Please Note: these findings have not been verified by academia. The hand axes are Acheulean but the 'carvings' have not been confirmed.
