A team of researchers working at the Melka Kunture dig site in Ethiopia has discovered a workshop for Obsidian handaxes ... They collected 578 handaxes, and all but three were made of obsidian, suggesting that the material around the axes was approximately 1.2 million years ago.

They also noticed that the handaxes were crafted similarly, indicating that they had just discovered a knapping workshop.
