The 100,000-year-old paint pot: Man's oldest art studio found in cave


Paint pots used by humans more than 100,000 years ago have been discovered in South Africa.


Archaeologists excavating the Blombos Cave have stumbled upon a hoard of art materials which include everything an ancient artist might have required to be creative.


Red and yellow pigments, shell containers and grinding cobbles and bone spatulas - to mix up a paste - were all present in the discovery that, researchers say, is proof that our early ancestors' were more modern than once thought.
