Too good not to share: I just came across this photo of a wooden floor of a neolithic house. Unearthed in Alleshausen-Grundwiesen, a wetland settlement at the western rim of the Federsee marshlands, 3020-2700BC 📷H. Schlichterle/Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Baden Württemberg #archaeology

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 1/2 Found in the Grotte du Placard à Vilhonneur (Charente).
