171,000-Year-Old Fire Forged Tool Discovered Beneath a Giant Elephant
 

171,000 years ago, in Tuscany, a set of ancient tools were crafted and forged with fire.

Archaeologists in Florence, Italy, made an incredible discovery during construction work at Poggetti Vecchi. A paper published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences  (PNAS), details the discovery of “fragmented wooden and stone tools, together with the fossilized bones of the straight-tusked elephant ( Paleoloxodon antiquus )…radiometrically dated to about 171,000 years old.”

What happened to the tool that was holding the tool when the Elephant fell?
