Flint knapping - a stone age technique
The earliest stone tool manufacturing facilities are between 2 and 3 million years old. The most recent discovery is Homo floresiensis or the so-called "Flores Man", also called "Hobbit". This small, only about 1 meter tall hominid made simple flake tools on the island of Flores, Indonesia, between about 95,000 and 12,000 years ago.
