This irritates the crap outta me...
First, they rerun an old article and include no new info...
and then I see this:
Artefacts were found in caves and rock shelters located in Preveli Gorge, where freshwater rivers and streams have eroded rocky sediment. Among the artefacts were hand axes, cleavers, and scrapers made from local quartz rock. According to Runnels, the tools may have been used to hollow out large tree trunks, to turn them into boats.

But of course! They wouldn't have made tools from locally collected materials to make something as mundane as um... shelters, weapons, other tools, etc.
No! They made these tools to make even more boats!

UPDATE!
They still have not found a 130,000 year old surf board!
P.S. Spanish Dictator Francisco Franco is still dead.

A.k.a. unsupported speculation, commonly better known as wishful thinking.According to Runnels, the tools may have been used to hollow out large tree trunks, to turn them into boats.
