Studying prehistoric production processes of birch bark tar using computational modelling reveals what kinds of cognition were required for the materials produced by Neanderthal and early modern humans.
Researchers of Team Langejans in the Materials Science and Engineering department recently published two papers on one of the world's oldest transformative technologies, publishing their findings inBirch bark tar is the first time we see evidence of creating a new material, said Dr. Paul Kozowyk, lead author on one of the papers. Examining the methods used to create the tar is an important step in understanding the behaviours and technical cognition required by the Neanderthals.
Scientists have, for the first time, identified the use of birch bark tar in medieval England -- the use of which was previously thought to be limited to ... By studying artefacts that date back to the first 6 centuries AD through the lens of chemistry, archaeology, and textual analysis, researchers have discovered birch tar was being used right up to ...
Neanderthals are often depicted as having straight spines and poor posture. However, these prehistoric humans were more similar to us than many assume. Researchers have shown that Neanderthals walked ...
