I began working in metal at about seven or eight, casting lead and forging it, working into copper and alloys by ten. One thing I noted was I constantly recovered the metal I'd used earlier, for ever more expansive extensive experiments and projects. I would suggest one possibility regarding the plethora of stone tools versus the paucity of metal could well be the fact the metal tools could be recovered when worn, by re-melting, casting and forging, while stone tools, worn beyond the design use would be re-purposed when worn, and discarded when no longer seen as useful. I've explored substantially, around the world, living in Spain a couple years and Italy a couple and exploring the Med as a child, intrigued by the remnants of the civilizations left behind. I've worked in metal close to sixty years, I believe because of my exposure to the Mediterranean cultures in growing up. This has been truly eye opening, I've little exposure to this Sea.

In front of Constanta's well known Casino I personally dove and during 6 hours on a sunny day through huge blocks of an ancient fortress, huge blocks of fortress wall, I used an old type italian 3 bottles very big Barracuda SCUBA diving apparatus at a depth from 10 to 20 meters depth. Actually my former mentor in science of archaeology and diving Constantin Scarlat wrote a book on " The invisible shore of Black Sea" in the seventies of last century. I was impressed by the massivness of those blocks of stone, I dove along and between them along like in a maze, I think they must have been the former wall of a former port, quay or something.

The Black Sea is flipping amazing.
Shells and sand dunes are great, buuuuuut......
They found a 74foot, Ancient Greek sailing vessel, sitting there on the sea bed, undisturbed for around 2,400 years!!!
Two THOUSAND four hundred YEARS ๐ณ!!!
- and itโs down there, under the water and you can see the mast, the benches for the towers, on one wreck they found, the ROPE was still looped and hanging on its wooden peg.
The condition the boats are in, after 2,400 years is astonishing.
A team of marine archeologists found this and many other ancient vessels. Each was recorded using photogrammetry as well as complete laser scanning.
If you are interested there is/was a multi-part documentary about the expedition and their discoveries that was on YouTube.

I had to pause at the 25:00 mark to make sure I'd heard him right. Did he just make the leap that people were using mammoth bones 2k yrs ago - "therefore the ice age ended much later"?? As far as inferences go, this is a shocker. Did the used bones have butcher marks on them? I'd hazard a guess that they didn't and that these bones were recovered from the beds of thousands of bones and tusks of animals that were wiped out during the Younger Dryas(YD). People still harvest these giant piles of tusk and bone today. His reasoning would have us believe that the ice age therefore ended today.

it's interesting when the old guy at 47.36 is talking about what caused the fluctuations in the glaciers/ice ages he talks about the older understanding - changing sunlight levels, then mentions the new theory - changes to equatorial currents, but sees it as a 'one or the other' scenario, The new idea makes the old one wrong'. Why can't they both have had an impact?
