Ancient hunter-gatherers were potters, too
Broken, charred and still crusted with nearly 8000-year-old food, the remnants of ancient pottery found across northern Eurasia wouldn’t be mistaken for fine china. But the advent of this durable technology—used to cook and store abundant plant and animal resources—was a huge step forward for hunter-gatherers in this part of the globe.

The plot thickens: new study reveals complex identity of ancient Britons
Do bones and teeth found in Sussex share characteristics with Neanderthal fossils from northern Spain?They are the oldest human fossils ever found on British soil.
