These 12,000-year-old Natufian artifacts may be very early evidence of wheel-like technology
These could be the earliest discovered spindle whorls, technology that was then seemingly lost for 4000 years.
12,000-year-old stones could be ancient tools leading to wheel technology
Archaeologists in Israel have uncovered a collection of 12,000-year-old perforated stones that might represent one of humanity’s first steps toward rotational technology, including the wheel. These donut-shaped stones,
12,000-year-old, doughnut-shaped pebbles may be early evidence of the wheel
The wheel was likely invented around 6,000 years ago, but a new analysis of curious rocks from Israel suggests that wheel-like technologies existed even earlier.
12,000-year-old stones may be oldest example of wheel-like tools
Dozens of perforated pebbles from an archaeological site in Israel may be early examples of spindle whorls, a rotating tool used in textile making that was a step towards inventing the wheel
These 12,000-year-old stones may finally prove when the wheel was invented, scientists say
They’re literally reinventing the wheel. Scientists might be closer to learning who invented the wheel after discovering stone spindle stabilizers in Israel that date back 12,000 years. That makes these rolling stones 6,
12,000-year-old stones may be very early evidence of wheel-like technology
A collection of perforated pebbles from an archaeological site in Israel may be spindle whorls, representing a key milestone in the development of rotational tools including wheels, according to a new study.
Pebbles Push Back the Invention of the Wheel to About 12,000 Years Ago
Israeli archeologists use models based on their find to spin flax into yarn, indicating these pebbles were used as a version of a spinning wheel.
12,000-year-old stones could reveal roots of wheel technology, study suggests
Researchers have analyzed a collection of donut-shaped, perforated stones from the Nahal-Ein Gev II archaeological site, dating back about 12,000 years. They propose that these stones, likely used as spindle whorls,
