EDGE investigates the performance of Palaeolithic stone tools using advanced engineering techniques and archaeological experiments. By analyzing the design and material of these tools, the project aims to understand early human behavior and the effectiveness of stone tool technology.
For over 3 million years, stone tools were central to the survival of hominins (fossil and modern humans).
Their ability to cut, pierce and scrape materials opened new ecological niches, facilitated exploitation of novel resources, and allowed hominins to survive in hostile environments.
Accordingly, there were strong pressures for stone tools to be effective, reliable, durable, and efficient.
Modern cutting tools are produced according to similar principles and there is >80 years of research de…
