A remarkable discovery of 29 stone tools—crafted for essential activities like hunting, butchering, and wood cutting—has been made in the Czech Republic, hinting at a hunter-gatherer’s toolkit from approximately 30,000 years ago. The tools were discovered meticulously arranged, suggesting they were once contained in a now-rotted leather pouch.

A glimpse into ancient craftsmanship: The stone tools found at the Milovice IV site

The stone tools, recently uncovered at the Milovice IV archaeological site, hint at the intricate lifestyles of our ancient ancestors. Dating back roughly 30,000 years, these 29 artifacts reveal a strong sense of purpose and functionality. Dominik Chlachula, a researcher from the Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno, emphasizes the significance of these artifacts in understanding the daily lives of prehistoric hunters.

Initially discovered in 2009 when a village road collapsed in the Pavlovské vrchy mountains, subsequent archaeological excavations led to deeper findings in 2021. At Milovice IV, researchers unearthed charcoal fragments aged between 29,550 and 30,250 years, along with remains of horses and reindeer. Most strikingly, they found a collection of stone tools, arranged with care as if once tucked away in a protective pouch that had since deteriorated.

Chlachula points out the extensive wear on the tools, indicating they were actively used for a variety of tasks, including cutting and scraping bones and hides. Notably, some tools exhibited evidence of having been affixed to handles, while others displayed fractures and microscopic impacts—clear signs of their use as spear or arrow tips.

The materials used for these tools offer a fascinating insights into the resourcefulness of their maker. About two-thirds of the tools were fashioned from flint sourced from glacial deposits over 130 kilometers away, a notable distance especially considering the arduous journey on foot. The remaining tools originated from western Slovakia, roughly 100 kilometers away. It remains uncertain whether these materials were obtained directly or through trade routes.

Although many tools were too worn to function, Chlachula speculates they may have been kept for potential recycling or possibly held sentimental value for their owner.
