7. There should probably also be some

evidence of tools specific to obtaining, preparing, and eating fish and seafood. Harpoons, small picks for scraping mussels out of shells. They might have used nets, but those decay unless the right preservation circumstances exist. Maybe they also had boats for going out a short distance into the sea to get the sharks and dolphins.

These dates precede earliest Homo sapiens in Europe, so maybe Sapiens in Europe learned to get and eat seafood from Neanderthal. Or, maybe the practice started in Africa before either one of them moved out of Africa.

Clambakes are apparently a very old tradition in our ancestry.
