AdvertisementAdvertisementIt appears dads could have been making fashion faux pas even since the Stone Age. The dating reveals evidence of basketry — the ancient craft of basket making — in hunter-gatherer communities in southern Europe during the Mesolithic period and the early Neolithic period when societies began to transition to agricultural ways of life. As to whether the sandals were rocked with socks — that fashion offense wouldn't appear until several millennia later.

☆ These 6,000-year-old sandals found in a Spanish cave are Europe’s oldest shoes

CNN —New analysis has identified the oldest shoes ever discovered in Europe, according to a study published this week in the journal Science Advances. The ancient footwear, along with Mesolithic baskets and other tools, was first discovered back in 1857, when a cave in southern Spain was looted by miners. The sandals were made of grasses as well as other materials, including leather, lime and ramie bast, a type of natural fiber. Using the descriptions provided by Góngora, the study hypothesizes that the bodies were buried wearing the sandals. The first phase was related to the Early Holocene hunter-gatherer populations, and the second phase to Middle Holocene farmers, researchers said.

REUTERS/Violeta Santos MouraMADRID, Feb 7 (Reuters) - A Spanish businessman has admitted in court that he covered up the dangers of his company's star product, which allegedly led to nearly 1,900 workers contracting the occupational lung disease silicosis, court documents showed on Tuesday. Cosentino, based in the southern province of Almeria, is planning an IPO that could be worth more than 3 billion euros. Cosentino said managers at stone-cutting workshops "are responsible for ensuring that their workers have the necessary means of protection and that they implement them appropriately". "It is entirely incorrect that Cosentino has admitted to having concealed the fact that the handling of Silestone has caused the majority of cases of silicosis that have affected 1,856 workers," it added.

(foto) Ore pe plajă – soluția unei școli din Spania pentru cursuri sigure în pandemieElevii de la școala Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente din Cartagena, regiunea Murcia, Spania, s-au mutat pe Playa de Los Nietos pentru ore. Băncile sunt distanțate, iar elevii și profesorii poartă măști de protecție când ies la tabla portabilă. „Este sigur și copiii învață, dar se și distrează”, a afirmat Juan Francisco Martinez, un profesor de engleză, potrivit sursei citate. Până acum, de la implementarea orelor la plajă, n-a fost raportat niciun caz de infectare cu coronavirus în rândul elevilor. „Prefer plaja, fiindcă mă simt mai relaxat și comod”, a spus un elev de 9 ani. „Orele pe plajă sunt foarte bune, fiindcă sunt cu prietenii mei, sunt la plajă, iubesc plaja, vara mereu vin aici pentru a înota în fiecare zi și iubesc nisipul”, a completat un băiat de 10 ani.
