A 9,000-year-old stone-cutting workshop has been discovered in Senegal

West Africa remains a prehistoric enigma, but archaeologists from the University of Geneva, have discovered a tiny site in Senegal, Ravin Blanc X, which reveals a 9,000-year-old quartz-cutting workshop. These remains, rare in this region, bear witness to sophisticated technical know-how and standardized tool production. A valuable discovery for understanding the last hunter-gatherers at the dawn of the Neolithic.
