We took a little creative license in the headline by calling the tools “bloodstained”: it’s not like they had thick crusts of dried blood on them. But they did indeed have the residue of animal proteins that researchers were able to isolate and identify.

If I didn’t know better I’d think that you had gone back to your old practice of publishing a “spoof” for April Fool’s Day. I remember the one about finding a chalice in the holy land (if I remember correctly) with traces of blood in it. If blood is still discernable on 13,000 year old stone tools, well that truly is amazing. (By the way, I really do miss the April Fool’s Jokes…I really liked the one about Neanderthal’s wind chimes).
