Abstract

Two charred, wooden artifacts were recovered from the Abric Romaní in Capellades (Barcelona, Spain) and indirectly dated to 45,000 years B.P. by the uranium-thorium method. They have since been treated for preservation and stabilization with polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000) and a setting has been created for them similar to the original so that they maybe shown to the public without risk of damage.
