I was lucky enough to have been shown this material a few months ago. They are incredible and such an important new dataset for understanding early Acheuelan technological behaviours.

Nature Portfolio @natureportfolio.nature.com · Mar 5

Ancient humans were systematically producing bone tools as early as 1.5 million years ago, according to a study in Nature. Bone tools discovered in Tanzania pre-date previous evidence of systematic bone tool production by more than a million years. https://go.nature.com/3XpB20D 🏺 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows tools made on long bone diaphysis of very large mammals.
