Dr. Barkai and Prof. Gopher say that the blades found in Qesem Cave distinguish themselves through the sophistication of the technology used for manufacturing and mass production.In a staffing conference, it was determined that Prof. Gopher was the obvious choice to dig in and see what he could find...

The prof’s main challenge was keeping Barkai and Shimelmitz happy on the job.

late Lower Paleolithic period, 200,000-400,000 years ago as part of the Acheulo-Yabrudian cultural complex, a geographically limited group of hominins who lived in modern-day
Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.
And they have been at war with one another ever since.....

Flint forming for blades does not require powerful blows, just well controlled blows. It is not, BTW, difficult to learn or do.
It is even easier if you cook the flint in a fire. You can flake it then with simple pressure on the blade face.

I tried making an arrowhead the other day. It takes lots of practice...............

Put it in a fire and it will be much easier.
There are sites on the Internet that you might find helpful.

You can use a hammer and cold chisel if you like.
It is a good SHTF skill to have.
To: Red Badger
Interesting photographs, but I didn’t see any cave? However in the world would they know to dig there?
