Together with Oleksandr Naumenko (National Museum of the History of Ukraine) and Vadym Stepanchuk (Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), we digitized several archaeological artifacts from one of the oldest settlements of ancient people in Ukraine, Medzhibyzh 1 (Khmelnytskyi region).
What have we digitized?
With my colleagues, quite typical flint tools were selected, which were used by ancient men for obtaining food – cutting and scraping meat, breaking bones, etc. This is a splinter with sharp edges (which could have been used as a modern knife), a pebble treated with several blows (the so-called “chopper”), which was used as a chopping tool, and a lithic core – an object that is a waste of production. Chips were chipped from them, which later served as tools, and the lithic cores were thrown away.
