Natural resources
Primaeval environment provided many opportunities for man to develop. Rich natural stocks were used in many ways which we try to recall nowadays. Everything must have evolved gradually. Unfortunatelly we can discover only a tiny part of organic material used and processed by people in those days. We are able only to guess how perfectly surrounding nature were known and used.
For example birch bark could be used as a material to produce shoes, dishes, to impregnate specific materials or even as an adhesive birch tar. It could be also used as kindling reliable in difficult weather terms. There are only a few examples of ways one raw material - birch bark in this particular case- could be used by the man of the Stone Age.
A birch bucket sealed with beeswax and resin
Vessels from birch bark
The material is ready
A wicker from young ash bark
Durable wickerwork from willow bark
Charcoal and animal’s blood – one of primaeval pigments
Loess – was used mainly for producing loom weights and plasting homesteads
