200,000-year-old knives found
Israeli archaeologists believe thousands of ancient shards of flint scattered around a fire pit in a cave near Tel Aviv might be the world's oldest disposable knives.
The tiny knives are believed to be at least 200,000 years old. A Tel Aviv University excavation team found the tools around a fireplace littered with charred animal bones.
Archaeologist Ran Barkai believes hunter-gatherers used the rough, round-shaped cutlery for slicing through cooked meat.
