Whalebone
🔆 World’s Oldest Whalebone Industry Discovered

Researchers studied 173 whalebone tools from Magdalenian caves near the Bay of Biscay.
Late Paleolithic people used bones from at least five large whale species to craft tools.
Toolmaking flourished between 17,500 and 16,000 years ago.
No whaling technology found; likely people scavenged stranded whales and extracted oil and baleen.
This discovery rewrites understanding of early human use of marine resources.
