Interesting stuff. The Wikipedia article said that this technique of "modifying" what was a less than ideal material into something usable was already in Europe at least 25,000 years ago and may have been developed in Africa as early as 164,000 years ago!!!! it sounds like the first example in human history of people being given lemons and making lemonade.
