[Prehistoric \u201cSwiss Army knife\u201d indicates early humans communicated](https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/955471)\nTL;DR A particular type of stone tool is found in southern Africa across large distances and multiple biomes, indicating that ancient peoples were communicating and sharing technology. The Howiesons Poort backed artifacts (\u201cHowiesons Poort\u201d being a Middle Stone Age cultural period), also known as \u201cstone Swiss Army Knives\u201d, were produced in huge quantities roughly 65,000 years ago. According to Paloma de la Pe\u00f1a, \u201cWhile the making of the stone tool was not particularly difficult, the hafting of the stone to the handle through the use of glue and adhesives was hard, which highlights that they were sharing and communicating complex information with each other.\u201d Interestingly, this supports one explanation of why the biggest exit out of Africa 60,000-70,000 years ago was so successful \u2014 that there was sufficient social connection for a large-scale exodus. \u201cWhat was also striking was that the abundance of tools made in the same shape coincided with great changes in the climatic conditions.

[How an ancient rice beer helped brew Chinese civilisation](https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/environment/article/3180155/how-ancient-rice-beer-helped-brew-chinese)\nTL;DR A new study showed that red rice beer created \u201ccultural interactions\u201d between autonomous neolithic peoples in China. These independent groups started blending together during the \u201cinteraction sphere\u201d, beginning around 4,000 years ago, kicking off a new phase in Chinese history. The brew was brought to China by the Dawenku culture between 4,600 and 6,700 years ago. It is made in large clay basins called dakougangs, which were a big technological advancement in themselves. Being able to make large quantities of red rice beer for feasts provided individuals with prestige, and the realization that this technology would have helped people gain status may shed \u201cnew light on the intensified transregional interactions which contributed to the growth of social stratification at the dawn of Chinese civilisation.\u201d As a side note, this was not merely because people liked to drink \u2014 the red hue of the beer likely made it a sacred ceremonial substance associated with blood.
[Industrial Manufacturing Of Wool And Wool Textiles In The Bronze Age Italy](https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2022/06/industrial-manufacturing-of-wool-and.html)\nTL;DR Montale in Northern Italy had some of the first wool production in Europe, and it may have even been done on an industrial scale. In a recent study, archaeologist Serena Sabatina made a case for this through the sheer quantity of textile tools found at the site, as well as the analysis of teeth. The latter showed that sheep and goats were raised and died in the same area, indicating that they were closely managed on site. The article goes on to say that it took over a year to get enough wool from 10 sheep to make a 3.5x3.5 meter cloth, hence the need for economically sustainable wool production. "Thanks to particularly favorable social and environmental conditions, they were able to specialize in the production of wool and likely exported wool, wool yarn or perhaps even woven wool textiles. They were then able to trade wool and textiles for goods not available in the area.""},"title":{"matchLevel":"none","matchedWords":[],"value":"Archaeological news \u2013 this week's top three"}},"_tags":["story","author_jamesofthedrum","story_31705284","ask_hn"],"author":"jamesofthedrum","children":[31705311,31705335],"created_at":"2022-06-11T15:37:09Z","created_at_i":1654961829,"num_comments":3,"objectID":"31705284","points":2,"story_id":31705284,"story_text":"Happy Saturday, folks!

[How an ancient rice beer helped brew Chinese civilisation](https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/environment/article/3180155/how-ancient-rice-beer-helped-brew-chinese)\nTL;DR A new study showed that red rice beer created \u201ccultural interactions\u201d between autonomous neolithic peoples in China. These independent groups started blending together during the \u201cinteraction sphere\u201d, beginning around 4,000 years ago, kicking off a new phase in Chinese history. The brew was brought to China by the Dawenku culture between 4,600 and 6,700 years ago. It is made in large clay basins called dakougangs, which were a big technological advancement in themselves. Being able to make large quantities of red rice beer for feasts provided individuals with prestige, and the realization that this technology would have helped people gain status may shed \u201cnew light on the intensified transregional interactions which contributed to the growth of social stratification at the dawn of Chinese civilisation.\u201d As a side note, this was not merely because people liked to drink \u2014 the red hue of the beer likely made it a sacred ceremonial substance associated with blood.
[Industrial Manufacturing Of Wool And Wool Textiles In The Bronze Age Italy](https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2022/06/industrial-manufacturing-of-wool-and.html)\nTL;DR Montale in Northern Italy had some of the first wool production in Europe, and it may have even been done on an industrial scale. In a recent study, archaeologist Serena Sabatina made a case for this through the sheer quantity of textile tools found at the site, as well as the analysis of teeth. The latter showed that sheep and goats were raised and died in the same area, indicating that they were closely managed on site. The article goes on to say that it took over a year to get enough wool from 10 sheep to make a 3.5x3.5 meter cloth, hence the need for economically sustainable wool production. "Thanks to particularly favorable social and environmental conditions, they were able to specialize in the production of wool and likely exported wool, wool yarn or perhaps even woven wool textiles. They were then able to trade wool and textiles for goods not available in the area."","title":"Archaeological news \u2013 this week's top three","updated_at":"2024-09-20T11:17:02Z"},{"_highlightResult":{"author":{"matchLevel":"none","matchedWords":[],"value":"maxgrinev"},"story_text":{"fullyHighlighted":false,"matchLevel":"full","matchedWords":["palona"],"value":"Hey HN!
We built Sequor to solve a recurring problem: choosing between two bad options for API/app integration:
1. Proprietary black-box SaaS connectors with vendor lock-in
2. Custom scripts that are brittle, opaque, and hard to maintain
Sequor is a SQL-centric workflow framework for building reliable API integrations in modern data stacks \u2014 code-first, declarative, and version-controlled. It\u2019s an open source alternative to SaaS connectors, giving data teams full control over their integration pipelines.
Sequor combines SQL with HTTP request handling \u2014 think dbt for API integration, but with explicit flow control:
\u2022 Iterate over input tables to make parameterized API calls
\u2022 Parse and map JSON responses back into database tables
\u2022 Use SQL for logic, YAML for flows, and Jinja/Python for dynamic behavior
\u2022 Works equally well for data extraction, reverse ETL, and iPaaS-style end-to-end automation
\u2022 Git-friendly, no drag-and-drop UIs
Our goal was to bring software engineering best practices to integration workflows \u2014 without proprietary environments or vendor lock-in.
Think of Sequor as your integration foundation, not your ceiling. We provide the proven patterns \u2014 you build the custom connectors that match your data flows and business logic.
We\u2019d love your feedback, ideas, and contributions.
