“Around 7000 years ago, long knives, bracelets and
other stone goods fashioned by skilled Parisian crafters were reaching people
hundreds of kilometres away, via complex trade networks that are now being
mapped for the first time.
By combining archaeology with computer
modelling, Solène Denis at
the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Nanterre and Michael Kempf at the University
of Basel in Switzerland have reconstructed the lengthy and winding paths taken
to supply people from what is now Normandy.”
This study does
not take the effects of the Genesis Flood into consideration that occurred about
4500 years ago so there is a different in dating methods.
