How hard can it be?
Просмотров 29Год назад
A common impression is that making stone tools is a simple matter of bashing two rocks together. While you might be able to make sharp splinters that way, the evolutionary history of stone tool-making is all about controlled stone flaking making the rock break how and where you want it to. This video shows a student's very first attempt at breaking a rock. He had received verbal instruction and...
Hard-hammer percussion flaking on a medium-sized core
Просмотров 76Год назад
In this video, a direct hard-hammer freehand percussion technique is used to strike flakes from a medium-sized silcrete core. The core is reduced bifacially, by striking flakes using a prior flake scar as the platform surface. The flakes are removed centripetally from around the periphery of the core, towards the centre. The flakes have sharp edges for use as cutting tools.

    Fia inu a se koko samoa! Malo lava capturing this. I have some to'i fafau but with metal now. My grandfather Sailivao Muaulu made them. Him and my father and his brothers used them to carve a paopao in NZ in the 80s.

    But Wright selected and prepared the tools for the orangutan. Now take this orangutan to nature with just the box puzzle and let the orangutan solve it there. I very much doubt that the orangutan will succeed, nor will he apply this tool making skill in any other problem. At best bashing things with stones will be the best scenario.

      But Apple selected and prepared the imac for the human. Now take this human to nature with just the computer chips, motherboard, casing and other parts and let the human solve it there. I very much doubt that the human will succeed, nor will he apply this computer building skill in any other problem. At best throwing everything away and go back to watching TV will be the best scenario.
