You may clearly notice local differences arising from the type of material used or specific types of stone available in the area. Then this diversity of cladding will be combined with the variety of shapes derived from the topography. A castle was designed in accordance with the landscape. Besides pure functionality, you will also find local vernacular patterns, even if styling was not the major concern, whose changes were following the fluctuations of power, interacting with other cultural influences and eventually giving birth to new shapes. Of course, there was complexity. One of the outstanding decorative details can be found in the crenellations. Their different shapes, in southern Europe and Italy, would reveal to which clan the owner of the castle was belonging.

If an animal possesses the cognitive abilities and mechanical skills necessary to manufacture stone tools, that animal has the skills and abilities necessary to create crude tools made of other raw materials, including plant fibers, furs and skins, bone, and wood. The important skills are identifying a task that requires assistance and shaping some material to meet that need.

Experimental archaeology can provide answers to many questions about how humans made and used tools. Did they heat stones to make them easier to break? Did different groups share technology? Was the tool part of a bow and arrow or a spear that was thrown? Did they have a higher intelligence than scientists previously believed?

ASU students can learn more about stone artifacts in Ranhorn's courses Human Cultural Beginnings (ASB 361), Research in Stone Artifact Technology (ASM 573) and via the School of Human Evolution and Social Change's Research Apprenticeship Program.

The Stone Age is a period in history during which humans and their ancestors made and used stone tools. It began around 3.3 million years ago and ended between 5,000 and 2,000 years ago, depending on location (stone tool use began and ended at different times in different parts of the world).

The cave bear was a stone age relative of living brown bears, and a member of the bear family, Ursidae. Its scientific name is Ursus spelaeus. With a body length of up to 3 m / (9 ft 10 in), the cave bear was a similar size to the polar bear, the largest of the living bears. It was found in Europe and Asia.

Megatherium was a giant ground sloth that lived in South America. It belonged to the same group, Xenarthra, that contains living sloths, anteaters and armadillos, and extinct animals such as Glyptodon, also included in this list of stone-age animals.

Sivatherium is a genus of extinct animals in the giraffe family Giraffidae. It was found in both Africa and Asia and appeared several millions of years before the beginning of the stone age. It is thought to have become extinct around 800,000 years ago.

One of the most famous stone age animals, Smilodon was a saber-toothed cat found in the Americas in the Pleistocene and early Holocene. Smilodon populator, a Smilodon species found in South America, may have been the largest ever member of the cat family Felidae ever to have lived.

The woolly rhinoceros, scientific name Coelodonta antiquitatis, was a stone-age member of the rhinoceros family Rhinocerotidae. It roamed the cold grassland biome known as the Mammoth Steppe that covered much of Europe at the end of the Pleistocene.

Great suggestions, but both of these animals were extinct long before the stone age began! You can find out more about Andrewsarchus on this page: List Of Prehistoric Animals That Are Not Dinosaurs.

Chumack, who shares his astrophotography at his website GalacticImages.com (opens in new tab), used a TPO 12 inch F4 Newtonian telescope, ZWO 294MC cooled cmos camera, L-pro filter, Bisque ME mount and other gear to capture this image, which is made up of a dozen 2-second images combined.

"Here is a really deep hour and a half exposure of the comet, showing the colors of the dust tail very well and a long tortured gas tail," Schur said if his image in an email. He used a 10-inch f/3.9 GSO astrograph and ASI OSC CMOS camera to capture the image. You can see more of Schur's astrophotography at his website (opens in new tab).

"I managed to get some clear skies on the morning of the 11th and it's a beautiful comet," Ladva wrote in an email. "Can't wait to image it again."Ladva used an Altair Astro 60EDF 360mm telescope, Skywatcher EQ6-Pro mount, Nikon D5500camera and other gear to create the image, which is made up of several observations taken at 30-second, 60-second and 120-second exposures over 2.5 hours.

Acheulean Hand AxesElliptical Profiles.The first hand axes (also known as bifaces) are usually called Acheulean / Acheulian, named after the site of gravel quarries in the suburb of Saint-Acheul in Amiens, France. Acheulean stone tools are the products of Homo erectus, ancestor to modern humans. Not only are the Acheulean tools found over the largest area, but it is also the longest-running industry, lasting for over a million years until relatively recent times. These hand axes are from St Acheul, 1 500 000 BP - 200 000 BP. Photo: Don Hitchcock 2014Source and text: Original, Københavns (Copenhagen) Museum, National Museum of Denmark

-->Mousterian MTA biface hand axe.Lanceolate Profile. Note however that this handaxe has been ascribed to the Micoquien, probably because of its asymmetry. Circa 70 000 BP - 50 000 BPNeanderthals were master stone knappers. They possessed a sense of aesthetics and an intuition for the right material, as may be seen from their handaxes. In Heidenschmiede, Heidenheim, district Heidenheim. there were numerous stone tools made from fresh water quartzite. This is a material very similar to flint, and outcrops only a few kilometres from the site.Length 148 mm, width 71 mm.Photo: Don Hitchcock 2015Source and text: Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart

Olduvai stone chopping tool2.0 - 1.8 million years oldFound in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania.This stone chopping tool is the oldest object in the British Museum and one of the oldest known tools made by our earliest human ancestors. Its discovery in northern Tanzania with fossil remains of an extinct human species proved that both human life and technology began in Africa. Tools like this were particularly useful in breaking open bones to obtain the marrow fat inside. High in calories, marrow was an important component in the development of the human brain.

This chopper, made from a small stone, comes from the limestone cave Shandalya or Shandalia I, in the former northern Yugoslavia, the oldest archeological site in Europe. The tools are equivalent to those from Dmanisi, and the deposits of mammalian fauna are similar. (Gabunia, 2000)Photo: Sklenar (1988)

Quartz and quartzite tools in Travertine limestone, circa 330 000 BP - 310 000 BP. The travertine was formed as the result of the solution and redeposition of existing limestone in a karst environment, and at least 25 well-identified stone tools have been found in the travertine, dating from the time of its formation 330 000 years ago, during a warm period of the middle Pleistocene.

Dry wadi from which the handaxe above was retrieved. It is a small tributary of the Draa river, near Tan Tan, at N 28.23233, W 10.59947. It is thought that an exceptional flood deposited all these stones here at once.Photos: © Corry Zuurdeeg

Legacies of the Neanderthals These handaxes and flake tools are made to a large extent from chert coming from deposits in the area near Stuttgart.Various stone tools from Heidenschmiede, Heidenheim, district Heidenheim, circa 120 000 BP - 50 000 BP.(left) Point, radiolarite(centre) Hand axe, Jurahornstein, Jurassic chert. (right) Faustkeilblatt, flat or leaf hand axe, chert. Circa 120 000 BP - 50 000 BPAlong the southwestern bulwark of the castle in Heidenheim, the rock face 35 metres above the valley floor forms a small overhang just large enough to create an 8 square metre abri, or rock shelter. Together with the open space in front of it, the cave has a usable area of some 30 square metres.In spite of its small size, this so-called Heidenschmiede, or heathen's forge, rock shelter was a place our ancestors went to time and again. This may have been because of the splendid view across the wide, open valley of the Brenz River, which provided an excellent hunting ground. Heidenheim is about 100 km to the east of Stuttgart.
