171,000-Year-Old Tool Discovered Beneath a Giant Elephant, in Tuscany. A set of ancient tools were crafted and forged with fire.

Archaeologists in Florence, Italy, made an incredible discovery during construction work at Poggetti Vecchi. A paper published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), details the discovery of “fragmented wooden and stone tools, together with the fossilized bones of the straight-tusked elephant (Paleoloxodon antiquus)…radiometrically dated to about 171,000 years old. ”

The team of archaeologists led by Bianca Maria Aranguren from the Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo, told reporters at Haaretz this week that the wooden tools “were crafted from a heavy and dense wood known as boxwood (Buxus sempervirens).” With bulbous handles at one end and blunt points at the other, the tools are about a meter-long and are believed to have been digging implements.
