Oh also, on a similar forum to this one I belong to, we are doing an entire thread on ancient EDC, including knives.... and it is so much fun! They just found here in the USA! Here is the photo of the ancient knife they found as well as some of the commentary from the actual article! I think something like this (pertaining to ancient knives only though) would be a very interesting thread here....with photos of course! Ancient Knives: What Did They Carry? AND I am sure that women back then used knives too for things, such as cooking and food prep..I am sure women from time to time helped hunt things as well...interesting.
Did humans occupy Western US earlier than thought? Ancient knife suggests people were hunting in the area 16,000 years ago--Archaeologists have uncovered a stone tool in Oregon that suggests humans occupied the western US earlier than thought. The agate tool was uncovered under a thick layer of volcanic ash dating back to the eruption of Mount St Helens 15,800 years ago

Here's a news tidbit: If the date of Rimrock holds up, it would put people at the site about 1,500 years earlier, at the end of the Pleistocene era, when mastodons, mammoths, camels, horses and bison roamed the area.
Much of discoveries at these sites indicate the people were involved in hunting, gathering and fishing, for which they used bone tools.
Some sites suggest that pre-Clovis people sometimes lived in hut clusters. Many were situated along the coastline, suggesting a marine lifestyle.
Many archaeologists favour the theory that they came over the Bering Strait crossing from northeastern Asia.
