Description

The model showcases the wide cross-sectional shape of the borer, illustrating its suitability for creating larger perforations and holes in materials. The wide cross-section enhances the tool’s stability and effectiveness during drilling activities. Attention to ergonomic considerations in the model reflects the wide borer’s comfortable grip and balance, optimizing its utility for controlled drilling activities. The ergonomic design minimizes user fatigue during prolonged use. The model may incorporate realistic use-wear patterns, replicating the distinctive traces left by repeated use in drilling activities. This provides insights into the tool’s function and the materials it was used to perforate.

The wide borer model serves as an essential educational tool for archaeologists, anthropologists, and enthusiasts interested in lithic technology and the specialized tools of Middle Palaeolithic hominins. It contributes to a deeper understanding of the Middle Palaeolithic lithic tradition and the technological adaptations of early humans during this period.

Researchers can utilize the model for studies on lithic technology, raw material sourcing, and cultural behaviour, offering a tangible representation for experimental archaeology and comparative analyses.

Constructed from durable, museum-quality materials, the model ensures longevity and authenticity, making it suitable for exhibition in educational settings, museums, and research institutions.

The Middle Palaeolithic wide borer model’s accurate representation offers valuable insights into the technological and cultural adaptations of hominins during this critical period of human prehistory. Its meticulous design and scientific accuracy make it an essential tool for education, research, and as a visual representation of the specialized tools used during the Middle Palaeolithic.
