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
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.
