Among the thousands of artifacts found, researchers discovered a double-sided hand axe, and flint tools produced using a complex form of technology. Photo: @Tel Aviv University. Some artifacts reveal that, half a million years ago, Paleolithic humans knew how to create an arsenal of sophisticated flint tools, suggesting that ancient humans had a much more sophisticated cognitive and creative ability than previously thought.

"This discovery is amazing because of the state of preservation of the artifacts and their significance in helping us understand this ancient material culture," said Maayan Shemer of the Israel Antiquities Authority. "In-depth study of this prehistoric site will contribute greatly to a better understanding of the lifestyle and behavior of people during the Paleolithic period." Photo: @Tel Aviv University.
