THE field of archaeology is rife with buildings and artefacts that are considered to be the oldest. The oldest known stone structure (Göbekli Tepe, Turkiye - built around 9,000 BCE) the oldest known clay pot (found in Xianren cave in Jiangxi, China - around 20,000 years old) and the oldest known paved road (Lake Moeris Quarry Road, Egypt - about 2,500BCE) all have something in common, aside from being really old they were all made by humans.

Marks on the underlying tree trunk are interpreted as a result of scraping, perhaps from debarking.
The marks show that the logs were cut, chopped and scraped with stone tools, the same tools that were found at the site.
