Pahon Cave Provides a Look Into 5,000 Years of Surprisingly Stable Stone Age Tool Use

Archaeologists found 1,131 stone tools at Pahon Cave showing similar simple designs used by nomadic groups over 5,000 years due to flexible, unstandardized production.

Summary by Phys.org
The Pahon Cave in Gabon offers archaeologists a well-preserved look into the Late Stone Age time period in central Africa, thanks to the stratified layers of guano-based sediment. This is in contrast with much of the surrounding areas, which are rich in acidic soils that make preservation difficult.
