The caption for the picture in "Stone Age (jargon) Stone Age - In computer folklore, an ill-defined period from ENIAC (ca. 1943) to the mid-1950s; the great age of electromechanical dinosaurs. Sometimes used for the entire period up to 1960-61 (see Iron Age); however, it is more descriptive to characterise the latter period in terms of a "Bronze Age" era of transistor-logic, pre-ferrite core memory machines with drum or CRT mass storage (as opposed to just mercury delay lines and/or relays). Cutups: Deathly rituals emerge at Neandertal site" (SN: 4/16/05, p. 244) should have referred to the partial skull as a "groovy gal," since it has usually been classified as an adult female, says David Frayer of the University of Kansas in Lawrence, a coauthor of the study. Also, the arrow in the published photo pointed to a natural break in the skull. Pictured here is the same skull with an insert of the view from above. Arrows point to the ritual incisions.
