(7,500 YO Metal Tools)

Article mentions one metal tool. Were others found and not included in the article? Maybe a copper chisel was good for something seventy five years ago but I wonder what they did with it.

Old day labor site.

We want to prove that the site was a metal works centre

With this exciting find dated around 7500 years ago, I wonder if it dates before or after the eruption of Mt. Mazama (Crater Lake). This eruption left a crater 6 miles in diameter, compared with Pinitubo’s 3 mile diameter crater. Cubed this would mean about 16 times as much atmosphere disrupting dust causing weird world-wide weather. And it was also much more in the Northern Hemisphere. I have theorized that this event may have led to weird weather that was a source for some of the flood legends. Remember our own 500 year flood in the Mississippi watershed. If my theory is correct, this could have really pulled the plug on promising developing civilizations of that period. Food shortages, raids, warfare, destruction and all that stuff.

Incidently, wasn’t a large copper implement found with the Iceman at about 5000 years ago?

If all the implements were copper then that marke what is clalled in the books, the Chalcolithic Age. It seems that “copper” is hard for archaeologists to say.
