13,000-Year-Old Tools Found In Boulder Yard
13,000-Year-Old Tools Found In Boulder Yard
"A homeowner in Boulder is trying to learn more about the person who buried a stash of tools in his yard. That may be hard to figure out, though, because the tools are about 13,000 years old.
An anthropologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder says there have been only a handful of finds of items as old as the tools -- ever.
In what is now Patrick Mahaffy's yard near Chautauqua Park, someone took dozens of stone tools for cutting and scraping and burried them in a hole -- perhaps for safekeeping -- approximately 13,000 years ago."
