RE: Before picks and other instruments came the humble digging stick

in #archaeology7 years ago

It makes me wonder...

  • Did the people who came up with a simple but time intensive method ever invent a way to make the hand-drilling easier?
  • Did they expressly experiment with different types of rocks?
  • Were different-sized stones used for digging up different kinds of plants?
Sort:  

Yes, yes and yes.

I might have to learn this before my wife kicks me out to scavenge lol
