Ancient debris is one of the most valuable resources in Minecraft, due to it being a source of netherite scraps and thus netherite ingots. It is found in the Nether most commonly at Y=15, although mining at lower levels is safer due to lower risk of mining into a lava ocean. While strip mining is still a potential and straightforward way of mining for ancient …
These tools and other kinds of 'large cutting tools' characterize the Acheulean toolkit. The basic toolkit, including a variety of novel forms of stone core, continued to be made.

Between about 400,000 and 200,000 years ago, the pace of innovation in stone technology began to accelerate very slightly. By the beginning of this time, handaxes were made with exquisite craftsmanship, and eventually gave way to smaller, more diverse toolkits, with an emphasis on flake tools rather than larger core tools.

These results show that ancient mining focused on the ore deposit of Phoukasa, which geological studies have shown to be very rich in copper (Bear Reference Bear 1963). An assemblage of mining tools and other equipment has been recovered from within these ancient galleries and adits, the publication of which is forthcoming.
The earliest stone toolmaking developed by at least 2.6 million years ago. The Early Stone Age includes the most basic stone toolkits made by early humans. The …
The dates show that early Native Americans were among the first people in the world to mine metal and fashion it into tools. They also suggest a regional climate shift might help explain why, after thousands of years, the pioneering metallurgists abruptly stopped making most copper tools and largely returned to stone and bone implements.
An ancient 12.1-ounce (340-gram) nugget of natural native copper from the glacial drifts of Michigan. (Rob Lavinsky, iRocks.com – CC-BY-SA-3.0 / CC BY-SA 3.0) In her research project, Bebber and associates replicated Old-Copper-style arrowheads, knives, and awls, using both copper and stone and bone to make these carefully crafted …
Mining techniques did not vary significantly during the various ancient periods. They started with open cast trenches, following the direction of the copper‐containing quartz veins within which the primary copper ores were chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) occasionally digenite (Cu 2 S) and a few others. These copper minerals were leached by water and, whether …
Previous research used archaeological remnants to evaluate when mine sites were active, but later mining at the same sites often obliterated ancient artifacts, Pompeani says.
The favorite tool for removing water was the tympanum. Two wheels oriented next to each other would turn carrying water to higher level. When the water dumped out, it would run to another pair of wheels which would pick up the water. By repeating this up a shaft, water could be removed. …

However, between 1997 and 2012, about 50 tools were discovered in the prehistoric mine of Grotta della Monaca in northern Calabria where there are outcrops of copper and iron ore. This allowed us to recognize their specific mining value and to consider them as a sort of "guide fossil" for the identification of ancient mining districts.
At Table Mountain and other locations in the gold mining region around the middle of the nineteenth century, miners discovered hundreds of stone artifacts and human bones buried deep inside their tunnels. Experts claim that these bones and artifacts were found embedded in layers from the Eocene epoch (38-55 million years).
The socio-economic needs of ancient societies before the onset of the industrial revolution thrived the exploitation of metals, with resultant adverse effects on the chemical signatures of soils. So far, there are no studies that summarize the contamination of soils by metals due to mining and metallurgy before the industrial revolution (c. 1800 …
Only these carbonates were usable for the ancient metallurgists. Mining tools for metal mining were until the New Kingdom exclusively of stone. After that bronze chisels, and from Ptolemaic times on, iron and steel were used in metal mining. They mined not only the copper carbonate containing quartz ore, but also the malachite filled …
