Dr Tim Koddenberg from the University of Göttingen explains: “The amazing state of conservation of the Schöningen wood has actually allowed us, for the first time, to record and identify the woodworking techniques in information thanks to state-of-the-art microscopy techniques. Project leader Professor Thomas Terberger, who works at the NLD and the University of Göttingen, states: “Wood was a crucial raw material for human evolution, however it is just in Schöningen that it has actually endured from the Palaeolithic duration in such quality.
