The excavations have revealed the earliest evidence for the systematic exploitation of marine resources such as shellfish ( which would have provided the Omega-3 fatty acids required for the development of the modern human brain ); the earliest evidence for the use of dyes in symbolling ( particularly the use of ochre, possibly for body painting or decorative arts ); the use of advanced bladelet technology ( embedding smaller blades into larger strata to create complex tools ); and the earliest evidence for the use of heat treatment in the manufacture of stone tools.
