HALABELLA | The Discovery of a Bone Needle @halabella6 | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
I think we are all familiar with a sewing needle, but have you ever wondered how it came out to look like that? Well, a needle is something that was first invented by our ancestors. The modern embroidery needle, made of combinations of different metals, is just the most recent in a long long history of needle development.
The oldest needle we know of dates back around 60,000 years ago: a human-constructed, animal bone needle found in South Africa.A needle made from bird bone and attributed to archaic humans, estimated to be around 50,000 years-oldwas found in Denisova Cave. Other needles made of bone and ivory have been discovered in Slovenia, Liaoning, China, and Russia, dating back to between 45,000 and 30,000 years ago.
They were probably made using a tool made of stone, splinters of hard long bones were cut out and trimmed to make a rough needle-like shape. They were then meticulously ground and polished so they were the right shape and were very smooth. The delicate eye would have been made by very carefully drilling into the bone from both sides. The thread they used was probably made of sinew which is a fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone or they may have used hair.
